ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort n convenience but where he stands in time of challenge n controversy

winning is realizing u alr haf won by being in e running. u may not be ahead of many other runners, but u alr have beaten e much bigger pack of ppl who choose to move on wheels instead of feet.losing is nt starting, but being content to tell abt what might be or what might have been IF...
winning is finishin e dist u set yrself, however humble might be. speed is a gift yr parents either gave u or couldnt give u. u had little to say abt it, so e time u take to run yr dist doesnt sae much abt yr spirit. but endurance n persistence r qualities tat are largely trained n learned. finishin is a victory of strong spirit over weak flesh.
losing is dropping out for no good reason than a weak will. quitting in e face of actual or potential injury is wisdom, but giving up to moderate inconvenience or mild discomfort is defeat.
winning is e measure of yrself against yrself. it is learning to take pride in yr improvements, no matter how small. later it is taking pleasure in more subtle measures of victory, which haf little to do w time n place.
losing is matchin yrself against everyone else who runs. tis is self defeating, bcos few pple ever win tis way n those who do dont keep it up for long.
last nite was a good n interesting experience. e first ever experience.

courage is too often mistakenly seen as e absense of fear. if u descend by rope frm a cliff and are nt fearful to some degree, u r either crazy or unaware. courage is seeing yr fear, in a realistic perspective, defining it, considering alteratives, n choosing to function in spite of risks.

hmm shall start blogging again.shall make it a short post
a leader is best when ppl barely noe he exist
not so good when ppl obey n acclaim him
worse when ppl despise him
fail to honour ppl,
they fail to honour u.
but of a gd leader who talks little
when his work is done, his aim fulfilled
the ppl will say, "we did this ourselves"
oh ya happy bdae delphine goh.
