Keep The Faith And Drop The Fear

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.' Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness! In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling! And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

SUKMA..

Hey...I was selected to represent Federal Territories for the SUKMA(Malaysian Games) which was on for the past one week... I learnt a lot to be honest...Not just about my knowledge on the track but about different people and many other things...I got to learn a lot...Im now back lying down on my bed and thinking while typing this..

Denesh..Jimmy...Aimi...Me..Loh..Yee Wen..Coach Hilda..Sanggeetha..Jo Ann on the last day of SUKMA Olahraga...

To do with sports, i pretty much hit all my goals and targets...Not exactly but close...I spent a week in Kuala Terengganu and I realised a lot of things about myself...On the first two days, we had training to test the track. On the third day, the competition started.That was basically the first day of the competition. I was going to run the 400m...I wasnt expecting much but i just wanted to clock my best time...The day before that, i cried.I was nervous...Very nervous...Even though, i know that i was brought for the exposure but i felt like i would let down my whole state if i didnt perform...That made me cry even more...I hid the tears from everyone...Believe me...for the first time i successfully did...I ran the race...I got off on quite a slow start but picked up at the 200m point...When i finished my race, i clocked a time of 63.4 seconds which isn't exactly my best but very close to my best which is 63.1 seconds.I didnt finish last in my semi final...I finished 5th...I didnt make it into the finals but i guess thats okay...

Aimi...myself and Anisa after our swim...We got up as early as 7 for our swim ! Hehe...

Then...i had no race on the 2nd day..i was just the reserve for the 4x100m race...On the 3rd day, i was going 2 run the 4x400m semi finals...Again...nervous...but not so...i dont know...maybe coz it was just the semi and it was a team event...I was the 3rd runner...I ran and my team finished 2nd which obviously meant that we were in the finals...Later i thought i was free for the whole day since the 4x400m finals was the last event on the next day...But!! Hehe...I sound so dramatic...hehe...i was told to run the 4x100m finals...Well...i was nervous but it was just 100m so it wasnt so bad...But i was asked 2 run the 3rd leg which i have never run before...So...anyways i did it and ran quite well...We came out only 7th in the finals...

Best of Buddies ! Me..Anisa and Aimi..At the pool after SUKMA.. Our parents were in the same hotel.. We crashed with them after the our races..

Then...the grand finale...(again so dramatic)(hehe)...the 4x400m finals...We targetted a silver or a bronze medal so i wsa kinda excited coz i knew we could do it and it was my first SUKMA...To bring back a medal would have been such an amazing thing for me...But bad luck struke! One of our runners didn want to run...So...we put in the reserve and the BEST runner on the team was having a hamstring problem so instead of being the anchor, she ran the 2nd leg and guess who the anchor was? Yeah...ME! Now...Now i was seriously scared and nervous...i wasnt the best in my team and i was going last...I knew i would getthe baton early but would i have been able 2 hold it? Now...I started crying...Really stared crying...I didnt care if any1 looked and im sure many did look...My coach was walking 2 the warm up track and i wiped my tears off but he knows...He knows me well...Hehe...I ran..I ran well actually...hehe...actually...it was pretty good...Hehe...I finished my run satisfied but very very very dissapointed....Coz i knew we could have got a medal...In the end, we finished 5th.. Haiz... But it happens i guess..

I learnt a lot about the people around me too..Some of them just friends and some close friends...Its amazing how all the people we know are just different...In someway or rather... But the people whom i mixed with...Wonderful people...They're fun...kind...and supporting...I owuld write more but im dead tired and sleepy in fact not going 2 school 2moro coz of how tired i am...
See ya around!

Sanggetha..Aimi...Me and Jo Ann !
