Bad things are good too!

All bad things are not actually bad.

Jealousy when channeled properly, becomes a great source of motivation.
Jealous of someone you like? Good source, work harder to get those things you are jealous of.
Jealous of someone you don't like? Much better source of motivation, but needs more taming.

Also, having people that don't like you/hate you/say bad things about you?
well.........it makes one(at least me) appreciate the good friends/the people who care about you more. Again a source of motivation for you to work harder and prove them wrong.

But 'easier said than done!'

And I am trying.

My bucketlist!

Read in someone's 'about me' on Orkut that the person is making a bucket list and the person suggested that everyone should make one.

Well, I thought it was a nice idea.
So, I am starting mine here. I'll keep adding things to the list when I decide on stuff.

MY BUCKET LIST:

1. To learn as many languages as I can. Specifically want to learn French(I am a noob, can understand very basic french), Arabic, Japanese(for now just speaking and understanding is good enough for me), Spanish. Among Indian languages want to learn Kannada. Shall think of new languages once I learn these.
French - I dunno the reason, but I love the language.
Arabic - I love the way it sounds and probably because of the Arabian nights.
Japanese - Someday I wanna see an anime without the subtitles.
Spanish - hmmmmmmmmm.......dunno y!
Kannada - because my father and the relatives from his side speak it.


2. Want to visit as many countries as possible. Again specifically want to visit France, Egypt and all the small countries in the wonderful Europe.

3.Want to learn surfing and skate boarding.

4.Want to go to a culinary school someday. I absolutely love the grace with which professional chefs cook. If I ever want to change fields, I think it would be either languages or cooking (currently I am a graduate student in comp sci).

5.Get a six pack! - Now you know one secret wish of mine ;)


hmmmmmmmmm, that's all for now. Shall keep updating the list! :D
