“Every person, every story must mean something”, and “that story is what matters to you”, those phrases captured most of my attention. I found it hard on the first place to look for stories to capture as a researcher, but with these lines, it made me realized to be open of what possibilities the topics may arrive.

In every scenes, there is always worked done which is not that visible on everyone’s eyes. That is what the story could contain. I’m excited to see things beyond every scene.

Tips for a stress-free life

• Know your passion and deal with it.

First of all, you must know what you want in life. Make a way on how to achieve things you want. In life, you must have focus and love on what you do. Everything has reasons and purpose which comes in humans’ life. These could be success, failures, temptations, and other struggle that challenge a human life. Doing what you love makes a person happy and satisfied. With this, you’ll never fell stress.

• Don’t harsh yourself thinking a problem.

Problem is always a part of human being, don’t harsh yourself thinking of problems like it’s the end of the world. Face your problems, don’t run away from it. Things happen from the actions you’ve done in the past. It would be better to deal with it to solve it. A problem is always a problem as long as it was never solved.

• Look for the where problems begin to deal with solution.

Looking for the beginning of the problem would help in solving them. The cause can be eliminate or change in order to solve a problem.

• Don’t wear any mask, just be you.

In every way you do, just be yourself and avoid acting like “you are not you”. People would accept you if who you are: don't pretend to be someone else. You’ll only find a true friend if you are true to yourself. 

• Be responsible enough on your action and words you say.

There is always a consequence in every action you do, in every word you speak, and every reaction you made. These things could be misinterpreted which may hurt other people. Be responsible enough to avoid uncertainty.

• Enjoy life as if it's the last day.

Enjoy life as if it's the last day of your life and share every time you have.Cheer up and be brave, face everyone and let your voice out.

It is a said miracle that after she lost her arm, she survived. She never give up of surfing for it was Bethany's passion in life. Bethany was born in February 8, 1990.Without an arm, she never thought of  stopping and reaching her goal as a surfer and fortunately made it as a professional surfer and win different competitions, and awards. Not only as a surfer,Bethany Hamilton also won the Best Comeback Athlete ESPY Award. In the year 2004 Teen Choice Awards, Hamilton also won "courage award".Hamilton took 1st place in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) National Championships in the year of 2005, a goal she had been trying to achieve since before the shark attack. One great story that could inspire billions of viewers. A story that would wake your faith, love and hope.
