A Melo-Dramatic Entry

At some time in our life, we experience being given big applause by lots of people who admire us for doing the right thing, for being excellent academically, and even for winning lots of sports titles.

Sometimes we get blinded by the fame and admiration people give us. Amazing aye? Really overwhelming.

However, excellence is not forever and there are many times when we fall and fail even ourselves.

Why do failures happen?

Is it because of our ego? Or these are just part of the test? Both true.

Sometimes we think that we are the BEST, that we can do everything in that field, that we are undefeated. Somehow that's true, but we often forget that others get their advantage by working hard and doing what's right. And when they persevere while we sit and relax, that's when we lose and fail.

Failures are part of the test. We must learn how to pick ourselves up and be strong. We may no longer be the "best in math" nor the "best in IT" but as long as we do our best every time,we'll really succeed and achieve our goals.

Slash the ego. Slash the shame. Slash the pride. Slash the comparison. Slash everything but perseverance, trust in ourselves, humility, faith in God, integrity, courage and dignity.

I may only be a year10 student who doesn't know much about life but I experienced being on top and the sudden down-fall. It's not easy for me but I'm trying my best to get up and be myself once again.

At the moment, I know that it's too early for me to say all of these. I may be too young but I know that all of these happen in everyday life. And will continue to happen in the future.

I know that in two years time, I'll have my HSC and all of the failures I got in my SC will be forgotten.

I know that for the next two years, massive pimples and huge eye bags await to show but i don't care. I SHOULDN'T care.

I know and I believe that I can be on top again.

But after that, what's next?

I know that I WILL certainly fail myself again. But the important thing is, when that time happens, I reckon that I would be positive because I was able to have the preparation. And that is to fly not too high so that when I fall, I wouldn't get crippled and have stitches, maybe scratches instead^^

Now, here I am, not knowing how to end this entry.lol.

bottom line:
It's better to fall and get up early than to realize things when it's too late.
