Let your Colours Burst

Last Thursday (15 th Sept) was a day that I remembered for the rest of my life. It s because I did my 1st public speech that day. It was on the grand even of WSO2, WSO2Con where I had to deliver a speech on WSO2 Carbon Studio. I still cant believe I did that. When I sit back and think about it, it almost felt like a dream that was not happen in real life :)


I used to be a very timid person who always sit in a corner of a classroom, where I can hide from all the teachers and just listen to what they are teaching. I always was a listener, not a speaker. So me delivering a speech, in a such event is always impossible :)

There are lot of things I learnt from that experience. Best lesson I learnt is that you have the power to do anything. You just have to ignite the enormous power that resides inside you. Once it is ignited, you can do anything.  You don't have to worry about anything. Everything is possible and you will feel the calmness in your mind. I will wind up my post sharing a lyrics of the famous song "fireworks" by Katy Perry, that I inspired alot.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?


Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?


You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July


'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky


Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down


You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow


Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know


You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July


'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky


Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down


Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through


'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky


Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down


Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
