Inspiring words

By accident, I came across a junior college girls' soccer team's blog and therein, I found very inspiring words.

According to the blog, there are three golden rules in being a champion team:

(In case any one of the soccer gals come across this or something, I know it's kinda copyrighted but I seek your understanding in quoting such motivating words.=)

Rule number 1: You have to have a dream to have a dream come true

we only have to believe you can and thus u can. i rmb i was in primarcy school and i was playing in the inter class badminton match against some other teams. i like totally look down on my own friends and said they cannot make it. (paiseh, i primary sch tt time super mean one). then they all got super pissed with me and were determined to prove me wrong. and in the end they WON. i cant believe it, but yah, they WON, they were really qt lousy. i like waiyin's quote alot.. the ball is round, anything is possible. WE WILL PLAY IN THE FINALS GALS.



Rule number 2: Champions persevere to achieve their goals

this one sounds lame but its true. last time, i used to tell myself, i am weak i cannot run anymore. but its not true. i am not weak. i am hongli (get the joke hahahaha). anw the most impt thing is to persevere. trng may be harsh but everyone is gg thru this with you, fighting for the same goal. giving up and not being motivated wont get you anywhere. (like i've said, only the bus, mrt, taxi and aeroplane can). hang on!


Rule number 3: Courage is an ingredient that is indispensible in the recipe for success - the willingness to put oneself on the line, to risk embarrassment, to have no fear of failure.

Even to take the first step out to achieve what you want. If you are really afraid to fail then you may never try out new and innovative ways to improve. You may work hard yet eventually still overtaken by someone who is not afraid to fail. A method to ahieve this is to seek help from others and there are 2 types of people who attract truly qualified help: those who try hard, never admit defeat in the face of setbacks, and those who are always open to suggestions. Therefore, we as individual players must always be open to comments or even criticisms, and we must be willing to learn, pia and fight.


of course we know that we are not the only team aiming to become champions. There are others with the same goals in mind. in the end, I firmly believe that it still boils down to one very basic question once we set our goals, make our plans and begin our quest. We have to ask ourselves each and everyday, "How badly do we want it?" Because the thirst for victory is such a strong determination of success. Eventually, I believe that the team that wins it would be the one that wants it most.

FFOE

I owe my friends a huge apology for not having been updating my blog. I'm so very, very, very sorry but life's been so very, very, very busy lately. 'Nuff said. I got back my CT results finally this week. Guess what?! I got FFOE.

Ah, hell.

I didn't study and couldn't care less. The tutors don't say anything but I cannot help but feel guilty when I see their eyes flicker over me briefly sometimes during lessons. Just today, Mr Chia called my name and reminded me that I was the only one aside from Liyuan who hasn't done the P&C online quiz.

Yikes.

And so now I'm online - finally. To finish up that disgusting quiz which I so dread doing the last few days.

If only mugging were as fun as soccer, ugh.
