Because I believe

A tutor of mine once said this: "The difference between believing and not believing? The former creates possibilities."

How true.

That's exactly what I need (and I guess everybody too) to help me finish this competition. Believing creates a whole lot more possibilities. I don't really know how to elaborate on that, it's like if you know it, you know it; if you don't, I can't explain either. Probably for people taking exams, you may be able to understand it.

At this point in time, I'm sure we've done what we possibly could. Who doesn't want to do well? Nobody. Who doesn't wanna own those papers? Surely everyone wants to walk out of the exam hall confidently.

Sometimes I think it's really unfair that our future and our fate is solely dependent on one freaking academic performance. But sometimes I'm rather glad because I didn't do well in any school exams as well so continuous assessments won't benefit me anyway. Hahaha. That's one regret for me - not doing well academically in school. Anyhow.

But there goes the saying: “台上十分钟，台下十年功。” After countless trainings and practices, it's all just for that one performance. Currently, that's the situation that I'm in and I'm it's of many too.

Tonight over dinner, my sister and her boyfriend was talking about work and all. One point they brought up I thought it's completely relevant. They said 大学教你怎么做人，但当你真正踏上社会时，你才开始学习。Yes, then all those lame integration and differentiation and what-nots will not be needed then. But why do we need it now? I'm not sure if I've mentioned in earlier posts though. It's just a stepping stone for higher education. We may be dreading what we're doing now, but we never realize what we dread doing is actually a dream of another brother on Earth. Actually we are fortunate. Really, aren't we?

It's always easier to be pessimistic than to be optimistic. We never really look at ourselves and appreciate what we have. We're always taking things for granted, especially in this case, education. And we're always looking for what we DON'T have and hence we are never satisfied. Hahaha girls, when was the time when you looked at your wardrobe and think, wah I have ao many clothes I need to stop buying? Or maybe you look into the mirror and really appreciate the way you are? - That is, you think you're not too fat and don't have the desire to slim down, or you think you're not skinny you need to be one?

Well I guess, we need to start appreciating. Or at least, I need to start. But I find it really challenging even if I can say all these now.

Okay I think I digress a lot! I'm so sorry but it's like I think so fast I just type whatever I think of and sometimes there's no link! Hahah. My words supposedly reflect my thoughts, but no I can't cos I can't type that fast on my iPhone! LOL.

Lemme share 2 lines of lyrics from two different songs that kept me hopeful an kept me believing this while.

"I believe I can fly; I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away."

If you live with me, you will hear me sing this every now and then. It's stuck in my head. Heh.

And now for my favorite line.

"When you believe, somehow you will. You will when you believe."

Believing creates possibilities.

15 more days till we end this race. I believe.
