This blog is created to honour the end of my Nationals Inter-School Canoe Championship 2009 and the end of a Canoeist Career in Junior College. The 1st few post will be dedicated towards the setting up of this blog and will convey my thoughts and feeling over the 4 days event to honour the Sports which I really believe in, fought for, bleed for and gave my life to.

I'm very motivated by what MR LEE Kuan Yew wrote in his book. He says we must be comfortable and be used to doing work.

That has a lot of truth in it. If we love doing work, we will be comfortable not idling around. We will get into this habit of being productive and of learning. Most important, we must love where we are and what we love to do. As I'm trying this, I'm busy convincing myself that there must be something that I really love about my job. It's impossible not to like anything therefore impossible for you to not have anything to look forward to.

I must learn to appreciate my life more. I think I'm taking things too lightly. What my brother said is correct. I'm paid to learn what I do. I shouldn't complain. To put things in perspective, I should be lucky where I am. I am in a win-win situation. I have the capital to have high self esteem, as well as finance my canoeing career. Somehow, I fail to realize all this benefit. I must understand that passion require finance to blossom. I don't stay in an ideal world and I must come to term with it. I must appreciate my job, hence my life more. I must change.

I must come to terms that I haven't had a test of hardship. Mugging for studies and chionging for canoeing hardly counts as hardship. Now being placed in an environment where I must struggle to keep up and survive is something new and is closer to the definition of hardship. To survive, I must first admit that I haven't had any sort of real hardship. In face of this, I should see hardship as challenges, challenges as opportunities to learn.

I haven't wake up yet I guess. To start living, I must exit the world of canoeing... ... can I give it up?
