Without Reason There's No Motivation
Sunday, March 13, 2011 @ 11:19 PM
I just realized the reason why have I been performing consistently well in school.
There has been a reason in everything I strive to achieve. In studies, I strive not to let my teachers down. In rowing, I strive not to let Mr. Chua down. Now progressing beyond, I realize I look forward to performing well in everything because I'm a canoeist, a breed of men geared towards excellence. I carry that pride well and high.
Signing on with the military, I have lost the time and the opportunity to do what is closest to my heart - canoeing. I don't even have the luxury to meet up with my juniors anymore. Its quite sad to think of it. My heart is buried in the reservoir. But somehow, I was given this thought that has given me quite a fair bit of motivation. It started when I told someone this "Perhaps without signing on, I might never have discovered my love for canoeing."
It is here when I'm repeatedly squeezed like a gym ball that I come to realize how much passion i have for canoeing. If I have all the time in the world I would have wasted it. In today's terminology, it's call rot. I would have rot my time away. One of my reason for signing on is that I need a regime to carry me through, a kind of discipline. If left to my own devices, I will simply have rotted. Now there's something for me to focus on, and I have discovered my passion. How lovely. A pity, I have reach an age where passion is secondary.
I should cherish my time in canoeing uh. After all, there are quite a few occasion where love is recognized when it is gone, not when it first came. I got to appreciate my presence in the navy and start doing more to be contented, and appreciate navy. After all, without navy there's no canoeing. But then again, without canoeing I wouldn't have become an officer and would never have sign on. It's an irony uh. Haha. Let's laugh it off. I'm happy where I am.
Sign off,
Kenneth.
