start a day with a cup of coffee, and think positively :)

i hate it when people complained about how bad their life is. i know that human have the tendency to never feel satisfied. when they achieve something they want more. thats good, i called it DETERMINATION. but people who complained and say stuffs like "why my dad isnt a millionaire?" or "im not rich okay?" or "oh i hate that i have to go to uni today, i wish i have a car"
honestly, my dad is not that rich either. but he is a very determined guy and a very positive man. he taught me how to save money and how to get what i wanted with my own hard work, and how to start a day with a positive mind. why do u complain when ur house is so damn big and ur dad is doing international business?
if u measure everything with money, trust me, u'll never get what u expect. money is not priority, happiness in life is. its about how u live it the way u are capable of. its about being positive. trust me.. when u think negatively about something, u'll become paranoid and its gonna happen the way u expected it to happen.
here is something that inspired me:
when i was in melbourne, i used to take train from melbourne central (city) to berwick (my campus).. it took the train about 55 mins to reach my campus.. in winter, its really hard for me to wake up and get ready to go to uni. i felt cold, lazy and always thought negatively like "ow crap, im gonna miss the train anyway" but i forced myself to go anyway. so i walked from my apartment to melbourne central, it takes about 7 mins to walk there. when i reached melbourne central, i always saw this homeless guy.. selling out magazines to the people.. he always smiled. he is about.. 50-60 years old or something. it was so freakin cold, probably 7-11 degree celcius. he greeted everyone and wished a great day to everyone that passed by the street while promoting the magazines. "hey buddy how r u doing today?" "hello ladies, have a great day" "hi sir, how are ya?" "hello mate, gday!"
i couldnt resist but buying the magazine. it cost me 5 dollars (i think, i kinda forgot) but i felt like i started a day with a good deeds. and i asked him "sorry mate, but.. why r u so happy? is something good happened to u?"
he answered me "i am always happy, there's nothing good happened but thats not a reason to become unhappy knowing that with this kind of feeling, something ggod will happen. u know kiddo (hell yea he called me kiddo), some people are just ungrateful for what they have. i just need a cup of coffee per day to be happy"
i was shell shocked, ashamed of myself of complaining about what i have when some that unlucky, can be that happy. i saw him almost everyday and i always say hi and he always smiled back at me.. EVERYDAY! that homeless guy made my day, and im trying to stay positive everyday.

so folks, drink coffee, think positively ;)


did u know: Coffee actually contains important anti-oxidants, which is the way most Americans get there daily fix. Coffee can be beneficial at about 1-2 cups per day.

love your story, buddy♥
happiness is not how much you have, it's how less you complain.
