Fire your passion!
Yo darlings!
I hope everyone has been fine so far (: The competition team has been training hard in SAFRA so let us give them our encouragement! GO NANYANG!
Carol, thank you for the previous post and reviving our rotting and almost disintergrating blog :P I heard you have been ill for these few days. I hope you recover soon! Because we are gonna rock the nationals!
I am sure all of us had been stressed out by a certain someone but fret not, we will pull through! To my fellow team mates competiting (especially the pistolers!) have faith in yourself that you will do well and I truely believe deep down in my heart that we would win. Do not let failure become a self-fulliling prophercy. We can win as long as we believe in ourselves. Remember, nobody in the world can tell you cannot make it, it is up to you to decide what you want (:
We trained hard, we trained long. All of us made sacrifices, whether in terms of social life, school work, physical and mental self. Let all these sacrifices and hardwork show in the competition, and be exchanged for something of equal value; a trophy. We aim to win not only for the trophy but also for glory to our school. So just do your best out there because we believe in you!
Let me end off with some quotes
"I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win--if you don't, you won't."
-- Bruce Jenner, Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon"Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there."
-- Venus Williams"The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move."
-- John Wooden"Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it."
-- George Halas 1895-1983, Pro Football Coach "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."
-- Vincent T. Lombardi"I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline... I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - this greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious."
-- Vince LombardiThe real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory.
-- Vince Lombardi Winning Is...
...choosing to change, to grow, excel personally and professionally.
...tapping your personal power.
...accessing the fount of that all high performance people share.
...learning to paint your own picture of excellenceAs I am writing this, our competition team is still training at SAFRA. They have just shot their mock competitions with good results. Let's wish them our best!
