For? Haha.... for me to know, for you to find out. There are actually 2 can't waits - 1 a short-term can't wait, 1 a relatively longer term can't wait. And 1 week from now, it'll be Rita's (my German host mother) birthday! I better come up with something by tomorrow. For those interested to know the translation of the French part of the song "I Believe in You" bi Il Divo and Celine Dion, here goes: Tout seul Tu t'en iras tout seul Coeur ouvert À L'univers Poursuis ta quête Sans regarder derrière N'attends pas Que le jour Se lève Suis ton étoile Va jusqu'où ton rêve t'emporte Un jour tu le toucheras Si tu crois si tu crois si tu crois En toi
Suis la lumière N'éteins pas la flamme que tu portes Au fonds de toi souviens-toi Que je crois que je crois que je crois En toi
Here goes the English translation, thanks to Ding Ying. Merci beaucoup!
All alone you will go on your way all alone Heart opened to the universe Pursue your quest Without looking back Don't wait For the day to arise Follow your star Go where your dream takes you One day you will touch it If you believe, if you believe, if you believe in yourself
Follow the light Don't put off the flame that you carry In your bottom of your heart, remember That i believe, that i believe, that i believe in you
After reading this translation, please send a message to Ding Ying and thank her. I mean it okay. Its wonderful isnt it. See how good the lyrics and the music of the song were written. I find it so meaningful and it is something worth to be shared. Pursue your quest without looking back, don't wait for the day to arise. Well said, isn't it? Determination is the exact word to coin here i guess. And recently I found another word which is usually used in a derogatory sense, but it is essential to a certain extent to achieve something. Stubbornness. Like a buffalo.
That is what is with the world reknowned scientists before they became Nobel Laureates or discovered new theories or applications that have changed our lives throughout history. None of them I believe, achieve something with just one tiny witsy little bitsy try. It takes hard work, determination and stubborness to succeed. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Rosalind Franklin... and the list goes on.
And of course, the most important factor of all
Self Confidence (Selbstvertrauen)
"Believe in yourself, and others will believe in you," as quoted from South Park The Movie: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. |
