How to Be in Everything


How to be...

a good sibling

Be thoughtful. Always remember your brother's or sister's special occasions especially birthdays. When you give a gift to him or her, do not just give a gift that you won in an arcade but a present that is meaningful for the both of you. If your siblings are still studying, try to help them with homework or if they are already working, give them a cup of coffee while they are doing their job at home. Never forget to spend some time with them.

a better lover

You may not be the richest, most handsome and most intelligent person in the world but all you need to do is always be your best. We can't deny that intimacy is still an essential part of a relationship. Have time to talk to your partner about everything from future plans to anything crazy. 


an excellent student

Always pay attention to your teacher. If not, read books or other resources. When you have a free time, review your notes. Did you know that you can also learn when you do your homework, that's what your homework is for at the first place. Other than your required books, read other textbooks or search for the internet. 

a good child

Be yourself, and never hide what you really feel. However, always remain calm especially if you're parents are scolding you and you really wanted to argue with them. It's not still the time for you to speak bad languages. Do well in school. 

be a good leader

As a leader, he or she is followed by people following him or her. Always be clear about everything you say especially with commitments. If you want people to follow you, you need to be able to convince them that you are right and confident.


She's a nervous person but she sang really well








Be More Creative


Creativity isn't just a talent if that is what you think. It is a skill where you need to practice to be able to develop it more. The more creative things you do everyday, the better it will grow and improve into a better one. Here are some interesting things you should do everyday that you can do during your spare time, even the smallest time you have.


Doodling

Do you always doodle during school hours? The reason why they're telling you to stop doodling during class discussions is because it distracts you from listening. Actually, when you doodle, you are more engaged to the things your teacher is listening. Bring back the doodle with your school notebooks.

Learning To Do Something You Never Done Before

Aside from painting, drawing and photography classes, you should learn to do other things and you might succeed in that so called skills. Maybe try playing a new musical instrument other than the guitar and piano like the ukulele or the violin. The other thing you can do is try a sport like volleyball, basketball and football.

Have Your Own Sketch Book

You can make a sketchbook out of papers that aren't used anymore but can still be an alternative canvass for your art works. You can always browse them through time and look at the improvements you made for every art work. It can boost your memory capability and waste your time in a good way. Sketch in a place where no one will ask you what are you drawing, to draw something for them or to annoy you in general. This is called creating a psychological distance. Even though it doesn't look good, try to finish the whole piece.

Who says a BMX rider can't be creative?
