This is a nice topic...

"Man proposes, God disposes" - Shintaro Midorima (Kuroko No Basket)

Hehe I really don't know who is the actual author of the quote but I first see it in Kuroko No Basket (although I already know the Filipino version of this quote ever since I was a kid). This quote is pretty much my mantra specially during my college days. I always do my best academically but deep inside, I know that what I'm doing is just a "proposal to my fate or to God". It doesn't guarantee me that I will achieve my goal. But since I did my best, I will have no regrets whatever the outcome is.


And a few quote from Doraemon that I like.

"You can't be the most useless man in the world. There is always someone inferior."

"Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should"

"In the end, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to make your future a good one!"

I get lots of good quote from reading Manga and watching anime.


And a few from Bruce Lee:

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

"Being rich isn't everything, but it sure beats being poor."

"Hang up your dream up the sky, cause if you fall, you just fall into sparkling stars" - Ir. Soekarno, Indonesian 1st President.

"If you can dream it, you can get it" - Jorge Lorenzo

If they can do it you can do it too.. 

"Moshi sekai ga iro wo kaete, kaerimichi ga wakaranakute mo, Ikanakucha // Even if the world have changes it color, or if I don't know my way back, I must go" - Yoake no Ryuuseigun by SCANDAL

"no flowers bloom without getting wet"

Easy passion, lazy action. (Modified version of lyrics from YUI's song Merry~go~round.) I think it describes well how dreams remain dreams unless you work to achieve them.

Pessimism is realism. Accepting reality is better than being blinded by hopes and dreams.

quite dark lol

If they can do it, you can do it too. 

Risk everything, regret nothing.
