Burned Toast?

You might had read this article before (yeah,because I was forwarded too), but for those who haven't read, please enjoy. I hope this can be a blessing for those who read this article.
God bless! =)

When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologized to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Evra, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!'

You know, life is full of imperfect things..... and imperfect people.

I'm not the best housekeeper or cook. 'What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but into your own."
See through God's eyes and feel through God's heart and you will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.

Design? Isn't it just an easy subject?

Do you think that's true? When your O level or A level is not that good, then you can go to design school. But when your grades are good, you must study anything else that is better, such as business or doctor or anything else. When you see design students, do you think the are just a community of freaky and dump people?

Well, if you think that way, you need to open your mind and eyes, and see whether you yourself can afford those tasks. Tasks that need hours to be done. Tasks that need to be revised and revised and revised again. Tasks that need to be seen from different perspectives. Tasks that will mess the whole project when you made a little mistake. Tasks that require you to stay till morning so that your project can be done on time.

Design is very wide field. I think we applied almost all the subject that we learned in secondary school. It comes to maths when we need to do the productions. Just to measure? No! It depends on what you are working in. It's not just calculating what's the width or the length. We need to make sure that every calculation is correct so that the final structure will sit properly and neatly, or else, don't expect any good score if the lecturer see excess double sided tape or glue.

Chemistry? Yea, especially fashion design, interior design, and product design. They need to know their material well, including what they made of. Advertising design? yes, of course when it comes to interactive advertising campaign. What kind of paint you need to use for certain kind of material? Which one works well?

Commerce? Yeah, even you need to know some principles of marketing, so that you can sell your design and how they works to your design.

Psychology? Yes, how our brain works and how you can drive people's mind through your design. How can you grab people's attention and hold them? Design plays with people's emotion, mind, and desire.

English? Yes, academic essay is a must or sometimes literature review. A deep research and good English is required for this.

Those are just few things that I learned for this past one and a half year. Well I'm not saying that I'm a smart girl who knows everything. No. I just want to open people's mind, especially for those who underestimated school of design (Well yea, they, who was our leader in our school, I wish you two could read this post, hahaha.). It's such a shame, our school didn't have proper art subject. Looking back, what we did in art lesson: make fancy stuff from art attack. It's kinda annoying me, I need to catch the lesson (basic of art) that the rest knew already in their secondary school, even my drawing skill's so bad. And one more thing, we didn't have any art subject for our O level.

Bottom line: Never underestimate design!
