I despise people who take advantage of others, enjoy the benefits, and then just fuck off. I just can't stand such ungrateful pussies.

Boxing today, was off-form. But everyone else seem to be experiencing the same problem. Think it's the humidity.

Quote of the day - Harsh circumstances don't produce bad people. Bad decisions do.

Trying Your Best

In this post, I shall offer a pessimistic (yet very relevant) view of the cliche phrase : "trying your best".

Essentially, I disagree with the key idea that win or lose, succeed or fail, what matters the most is that you have tried your best.

Here's the point worth debating.

The fact that, after you have given your best shot at a specific challenge, and yet still encountering failure at the end of it all, goes on to prove one thing : Your best is simply not good enough. Your best is simply not on par with the bare basic requirements to be a winner. Your best is still shit.

And because your perceived "best" showing has failed, it goes to show that your maximum prowess is still inadequate, way too weak, with lots of room for improvement . Ultimately, it suggests that you are still extremely incompetent.


The point is, when you fail, you cannot say you have tried your best. You never can. And you should never ever be content, telling yourself that you have already done your utmost best. Never be pleased with yourself. Always demand more and more and more. Because you can never reach your best standard. You can always beat and better yourself. Your best is something like a mirage, a mental/physical fantasy. You can never reach it, but you just have to keep working your damn ass off towards your destination.

So you are saying you have tried your best? Nonsense. It is useless. Your efforts are absolutely futile in the sense that you have failed in the present outcome. But it comes in handy since it aids in your never-ending quest to further upgrade and develop yourself.

And you can only say you have done your best, when you have won, attaining success in your objectives. If not, fuck off, suck it up and go work harder. Go beat them.

To summarize, you are never good enough when you fail. You are only good enough, and have proven that you have indeed tried your best, WHEN YOU WIN. So go on and better your best.




Peace.

Looks like I didnt score as well as I would have liked. Dammit.

In a way, I feel enlightened. Because I don't give a shit anymore.

This is where old habits kick in again.

Too bad I ain't fit enough, and picked up the sport a little too late. If not, I would gladly give up studies now and go be a professional boxer.

toto is good too.

school is restarting soon. i can smell the shit already.

had a great boxing session today..learnt new moves and and how to use the . First circuit training in around 5 mths, and can totally feel the fatigue.

time to embark on a learning spree.

archery. kayaking. motorbike. rockclimbing. wakeboarding. handball. floorball.

so much to learn, so little time. and not forgetting, money no enough.

I realise I have to channel all my energy and steam into something more productive and meaningful. Maybe I should pick up music again?

For now, I'm still enjoying boxing.

I need to get my life back on track. I have lost enthusiasm in so many things. How.

browsed through Men's health yday, and came across this article on this Muay Thai world champion. in a single day, he will do 4 to 5 hours of boxing training PLUS a 40km run. He does this 6 times a week, and has been doing it for the past 11 years.

That is what it takes to be a world champion in a sport. He also mentioned discipline is not about the absence of laziness, but rather the will to overcome the presence of laziness. Everytime he felt lethargic and lazy, he will remind himself that there are many boxers out there who are outworking and out-training him, thus closer to the world title than he is.

I was planning to have a rough 3 day training session, but looks like I will not be completing it, for the sake of my health and comfort. Gym yday, today will be floorball training. Supposed to have boxing tmr, but I can already feel the shag.

Tonight watching Arsenal vs Liverpool. But having just woken up, I don't feel really enthusiastic about it. Maybe also due to Man U losing yday night.

Ok time to eat lunch and embark on the farking long journey to NUS.

Peace.

all i can say is..

WHAT A CRAZY NIGHT..

its amazing how a night out at a club can get you to meet so many farking frens..

long time since i stepped into zouk..

overall a darn good day..i needed it..

--

I got my place in Raffles Hall for next sem. Means I don't have to spend so much freaking time travelling to and from school. And also means uni life is going to get much more happening, i hope..

Going for floorball training later. I'm still feeling damn shagged from last night. Feel like ponning. Sian.

And I STILL have troubles sleeping soundly. Slept just 6 hours despite the heavy intoxication.

I should begin treating my body better.

I still have troubles sleeping.

I will just wake up at 5 - 6 am every night, and from then on, can't fall back to sleep.

Saw this phrase on facebook - Post Examination Stress Disorder.

Have a feeling that's what's happening.

Dammit the damage from last semester is horribly extensive.

yeah baby.

exams are over.

time to finally catch up on sleep, food, fun and exercise.

i need this break badly.

22 december, all exams results will be out. let's see how things go.

i'm starting to love life again.
