Do you have any aspiration or goal in your life? I'm a person who believes that life will be meaningless without an aspiration or a goal. Having an aspiration keeps us motivated even during the rough times of life. In order to work towards our goals, we have to make sacrifices, plan ahead and persevere on. This is true, isn't it? It is definitely not easy to achieve our goal. Thus, perseverance is utmost important in oneself.
Realising that the more goals we have in life, more planning and sacrifices have to be done and made. Moreover, we have to prioritise our goals too. For instance, categorise the goals into short-term goals (Yearly) and long-term goals. In this way, goals will be prioritised.
One major problem which arises in planning ahead is more worries and stress when things don't turn out as expected. We tend to expect more when we planned more. In addition, with more expectation, more disappointment could be resulted when things just don't turn out as desired. I asked myself this question for several times, should I just do what should be done as life goes or should I be planning ahead? I think most probably, a more decent solution to this problem would be to settle with more realistic goals. Give yourself a decent amount of expectation. Not too high or too low. :)
At times, I will be questioning myself about the kind of person I am. The conclusion is I am a kind of person whom need to prepare and plan ahead. With that, I have a serious flaw. I am not good at taking impromptu events ( last min stuff). This kind of impromptu events usually causes me to be stressed up and might under perform.
When your goal in life is attained, you get a superb sense of satisfaction. This is the kind of feeling I love most. Take an example: A sportman has been training really hard for olympic for the past 10 years of her life and probably, just hoping that a gold medal is within her reach. Can you imagine the sense of satisfaction which she will get upon getting a gold medal in olympic?
This somehow relates me to the recent news about Lee Jia wei (our national table tennis player) who teared after she lost her bronze medal woman singles match, ended up in the fourth placing. Seriously, I think Lee Jia wei deserves a pat on her shoulder. She had done our singapore proud even though she didn't win any medal. We could see her determination to win and to bring glory to our nation. Sometimes, it is not only the results
(although, I must admit results are important in this practical society too) that matters but rather the journey to the result. I strongly believe that she had already tried her very best in the olympic. The very fact that in a sport match, it is cruel in term of winning. Only one person could win the match. Similarly, one have to lose. I felt a bit sad when Lee Jia Wei declared that this olympic might be her last one. She is a player with potential. Oh well.
Anyway, I am still proud of our national table tennis team which won us a silver in olympic after so many years without winning a single medal in this event.
Alright. That's all for this entry. Take care all. =)
I am looking forward to my korea trip!
AND I have to get all my winter stuff such as winter coat, wool sweater, long john, muffles, gloves and beanie soon.
Do your best today for the good of tomorrow :)
