While waiting for my photos from Siam Reap, Cambodia to be uploaded so I can download, edit, and post it here (photos are with a friend in Penang if you're wondering why it's taking so long), would like to share an inspiring video which I tumbled upon in Facebook.
This is X-Factor, a singing competition in the UK. And in the video - Chris Rene, a former drug addict which was just released from rehab, and thought of changing the world, specifically his family. He do not want his son to have a bad impression on him, and to thank all those that had supported him through the hardship of rehab. He sang a self-written song called "Young Homie", with inspiring contents in its lyrics:
Open up my mind with these spoken words,
Let this music heal like an overture,
She’s the only one, one, one, yeah,
And so I roll with her, ooh,
That’s how it’s supposed to be,
Living life with loved ones close to me,
Shh, ahh, this is the remedy,
And I got the recipe, I don’t need no Hennessy,
Yeah, it’s been three years now,
Haven’t had a drink and I’m starting to see clear now,
I’m putting all my fears down,
I can hear the cheers now,
Seeing peace signs when I look around,
Hey, young homie what you tripping on
Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we get along,
Hey, big homie what you tripping on,
What you really tripping on,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we get along
Give peace to the war in the streets,
Give peace to the evil that creeps, yeah,
I just ride, put my hand to the sky,
Live life like I’m never gon’ die,
See we be fighting and fussing over nothing,
So much destruction, looking upwards,
Combusting like nothing, now listen,
It takes an education, to change your reputation,
From bad to good, your even better now you’re elevating,
They be singing, family singing, everybody’s chilling,
Not gonna stop this, living on the feeling,
Man this is the real thing, tell me can you feel me,
Wait until they drop this, dancing on the ceiling,
Hey, young homie what you tripping on
Looking at life, like how did I get it wrong,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we get along,
Hey, big homie what you tripping on,
What you really tripping on,
Life’s too short, gotta live it long,
To my brothers and sisters when will we get along...
Loved it? As mentioned, no one thought that he'll ever go through the audition, let alone inspiring someone else with what he went through. But he believed in his purpose, and successfully pull through it.
So what if he's from rehab, he was given a second chance, he appreciated it. He had a dream to inspire, he lived through critics and conspiracies and stand strong through it. He achieved greatness.

Nobody is a nobody, no matter who you are or where you were from
Everyone can achieve greatness if you put your heart and mind to it
Faith is what you need to go through everything there is
"Buts" are only excuse to achieve failures
AWESOME!
