How anyone can succeed in life

Hi all! During these recent years I have come to realise that I have had a fairly successful life despite the fact that I didn't do well in school. So I'm going to tell you how I got to where I am by being the person I am by telling you more about my life story.

I have mentioned this before but at a very young age I was diagnosed with a disability called dyspraxia. It's a little bit like dyslexia but it effects your motor skills as well. So in school I was clumsy and really bad at sports. However the other thing I did not mention is that I am technically retarded and this is no joke. The doctors pretty much said that I will struggle at everything I do especially in school and performing individual tasks. Obviously I found this out when I was 12 years old and it has been a burden but I have come to terms with that. In fact ever since I've known I have tried so much harder to complete my tasks.

So I finished school with really bad grades. While I felt disappointed and depressed I didn't let it get to me. So instead of mourning that the fact that I would never be good at anything I moved on and went into college. While the chances were slim I still managed to go to college and study ICT.

The reason why I chose ICT is because I played loads of games and because I felt like I was an outcast to society I stayed indoors pretty much all my entire life sitting in front of a computer. During college I changed. I was a very shy kid before I went to college but for some reason that all changed. While I was still pretty shy I did some how gain a confidence boost and made many friends because of it and I was very happy. I was also doing very well in my course. In fact at the end of my first year I was awarded the student of the year award.

This was when I found out that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it. Just because a bunch of clever doctors said that I'm not all that smart, it doesn't mean that I'll never be happy or make a name for myself.

While I was in college I became a gaming journalist for an American gaming website called VGMMDI. While I didn't get paid or anything I enjoyed writing articles and I loved the fact that I can connect to people around the world and listen to their comments. It wasn't a well known website (in fact we would be lucky to get 10 viewers) but with my articles they were the most popular out of the bunch. With my articles I would of gotten 10,000 viewers where is everyone else would of gotten 60 viewers. I don't know why but people seemed to like what I did and it felt rewarding.

Then I had to quit to get a paid job at a petrol station. The pay wasn't half bad but working there was stressful though since that it was so disorganised. In fact there were times where I didn't get paid so I had to yell at my boss quite a lot even though I would usually avoid confrontation. However ever since I left that job I have become so much stronger. I feel like I can take on my own battles now and I'm much happier for it.

And now I got this new job where I am a web designer. When I got this job I was surprised that I made it this far in so little time. I'm 19 years old and I already have a steady career and this is in England which means it's even more impressive that I have a job at my age.

So now I feel like I have a purpose in life and I am so much more happier. While I still have trouble performing simple tasks and meeting new people I feel like that I have so much potential and this is simply the beginning of a new and happier life.

Just because someone tells you that you're ugly or stupid, it doesn't necessarily mean that your not going to have a good life because if you actually try hard and put more positivity in your life then nothing but good things could come out of it.  

L death note

Hello all. At the 25th of October I will be going to Comic Con and I will be cosplaying the one... the only... L. Yes L from Death Note

Also if you see me at comic feel free to say hi. I have also been studying his personality carefully so on the day I will be an arrogant genius. All though that is pretty much normal me anyway so... yea

How weird is normal

Hello again! All my life I have been perceived as a weirdo. While I felt neglected it felt right to feel weird. I used to act like I was normal but that was boring. What's so fun about normal.

Then I went out. It was late. Had a beer in one hand and a woman in another lol. While I was just hanging around talking to people I noticed that everyone in the bar was weird. And seeing that was fun. Then it hit me. No one is normal. Everyone has their own definition of what is weird and what is normal.

So technically everyone is weird but that is OK. It just shows that you have personality. If everyone was normal then the world would be dull and predictable and what's the fun in that.

So I ask you, embrace your weirdness. Don't let someone push you around and tell you to act normal. Because the chances are they're not quite normal themselves.
