Lessons Learned (Yea Right)

I always love Disney classic cartoons.  They remind me a lot of the beautiful days during my childhood.  I especially love the six princesses.  They're so beautiful.  Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Princess Jasmine (Aladdin), Snow White (from the Snow white of coz), Cinderella (Cinderella), Belle (Beauty and the Beast) and Ariel (The Little Mermaid).  I still remember wanting to be them so much that I always pictured myself as one of them, I bet other lil’ girls do this as well =p  These are what I learned from all six movies:

The Sleeping Beauty:
1. We need to be aware of our surrounding.  Even when things seem to go the way we want it, somehow, somewhere there'll be challenges waiting for us in the most unpredictable ways like the wicked fairy's gift.
2. Sometimes when face with challenges, all our previous hard works might collided.  It's okay to feel frustrated if this happen, we're only humans.  But never forget that hope is always there.
3. Curiosity is good, but don't trust strangers.
4. Be careful of needles!! Ouch!!
 
Aladdin:
1. Be yourself.  You can pretend to be whoever you want to be just to impress someone but it won't make you happy.
2. Don't judge people by the way they look.  Who knows the short, chubby old man you met yesterday is actually a Sultan??!!
3. Be careful of monkey coz they're great thieves!!  I even had my slipper stolen by a monkey once!!
 
Snow White:
1. Dwarfs might look sinister but they have good hearts (yup even Mr Grumpy).
2. People you trust might one day backstab you so don't be too naive and gullible.
3. Apples are not good for health hahah.
4. When things look too good to be true (the red shining apple), be careful.
5. When the elders give you advice, listen to it and it might save your life.
6. It's nice to have a maid to clean up your house =)

Cinderella:
1. Girls MUST have at least one beautiful dress and a pair of killer shoes!!
2. When you don't have time to do things you've to do, outsource!!! (but don't let the mice do it for you).
3. Make a grand entrance to any party by arriving late (only applies to parties okay).
4. Curfew is good, or things will get pretty ugly without it or if you missed it =|
5. If you want to get something, work hard for it even if it means you have to search the entire kingdom for the person who could fit the glass slipper.
6. For shoe addicts, never ever got yourself a glass ones coz they can break into pieces =(

Beauty and the Beast:
1. It's okay to be a nerd, people still want you haha.
2. Always ask for permission if you want other people's stuff or the Beast will capture you!
3. Arrogant people are real pain in the arse so don't be one.
4. Even when life is bitter, never wish not to be apart of it coz giving up is the worse things you could do for your own self.
5. There's always good things in a bad person, and bad things in a good person.
6. People will always sacrifice for their love ones.

The Little Mermaid:
1. King Triton is always better and has more fun than Prince Eric hahah.
2. You can be cheeky, but never be forgetful or your parents will get angry.
3. Nature is a great place to learn lotsa things!!
4. Always keep your memorabilia (eg: photos, journals) coz they are the meaningful things in your life that you can passed down to your generations.
5. If you have a secret hideout (or a diary that you don't want to share with other people), make sure you guard it properly.
6. Never ever trust octopus (that's including Paul!).
7. Before making an important decision (like turning into a human), it's better to discuss with those who have more experience.  Then only you decide what's the best for yourself and others.

Phew! I never imagine that I could learn so much from cartoons.  These are my insights, it's okay if you don't agree with them. It doesn't matter.  By the way, here's what I found on the Net last night:

Haha it's true, if you look at it that way.  Whatever it is, my favourite is definitely Princess Fiona (I wonder why she's not included in the Disney's princesses?  She's a princess too, and she's cooler than those six princesses =p)
