Life Quote by Melchor Lim
“I have learned that life is too short too be taken seriously but also too long to just have fun. so what I did was to play most of the time and then to work when I needed to work people may hate u for it but then all you got to do is look at them and tell them that you are taking life to the fullest and will work when you need to work. then if they try to hit you in any kind of way, then you have two choices: take the pain or dodge”
