Quotable Quotes

A day wouldn’t essentially pass me by not receiving a single quotation via SMS from any of my acquaintances. Some makes sense and some… well, just never mind. Those that make sense bring comfort and felicity to my heart and those that don’t somehow make me chew over these thoughts about quotation and stuff. Some quotations were affiliated with the word cliché. And some people make those famous clichés as their license to excuse themselves from the possible consequences of their acts whenever they fall short or whenever they do half-witted acts.I have here some famous clichés and my own versions that oppose them:

Cliché #1 - "You’ll never know what you have until you lose them."

My version – "We always know what we have; we just don’t know we’ll lose them."

Well indeed, we always know what we have and that’s the reason why we neglect that something or someone we have… all because we think they’ll forever stick around. And when we lose them that will be the time when we will only be reminded of what we have.

THINK.

Cliché #2 – "This trial is meant to happen for me to learn something."

My version – "This trial is meant to happen for me to unlearn something."

Oftentimes, we become so witty that we do not consider or recognize friendly help and advice from other people. We think that we are only created for ourselves and that we do not need others anymore. We sometimes need to unlearn something for us to go back to the basics and build the foundation of our character in a deeper manner.

THINK.

Cliché #3 – "Think out of the box."

My version – "It’s not getting out of the box; it’s getting the box out."

Dreams are made for us to create our goals that we would want to attain within a span of time… so why think that you’re dreams are too big that they seem so impossible for you to reach. Yeah, right. It’s not just getting out from the box for you should get that box from hindering you in reaching your dreams. Impossible dream…? Well, dream anyway, and do something to turn it into reality.

THINK.

Cliché #4 – "I am waiting for the perfect moment for me to live my life to the fullest."

My version – "Live in the moment and you make it oh so perfect."

Plainly waiting for the perfect moment is plainly wasting time. Waiting is good, but you should live in the moment and fill in the gaps while waiting. Time is fleeting; every minute we lose is another minute we can never bring back.

THINK.

T – try

H – honing your

I – intelligence

N - not only your

K - knowledge

Knowledge is the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association while intelligence is the ability to learn and understand or to deal with problems.

Think twice before applying quotations into your life… and you also have to think twice before forwarding some of them via SMS, you never know how it affects others when they received them. : )
