The journey.

People! I just came back from a 10km run! Woohoos, it was nothing short of a journey to me man. Even before reaching the halfway point, I felt like I was going to give up anytime. It was super tiring and I thought I could hold on no longer. However, I held on and continued to run, after turning back from the halfway point, which was just 5mins away from my 'felt tired point', it was easier to run liaos. =]

Throughout the run, I learnt something that can be applied to our lives. The tiring point will come inevitably in everyone's life. There will bound to be obstacles and problems that you will encounter in life too. However, the trick is to hold on and push on! Only then you will learn the most things, and only then you will realise that success and breakthrough is just around the corner!

Leaving you guys with a very inspiring poem from an unknown author. This poem sustained me through my 'O' Levels and subsequently gave me the positive and never-say-die attitude that I cling on to for my life.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
when the funds are low and the debts are high,
and you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit-
rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
as every one of us sometimes learns,
and many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
you may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
it seems to a faint and faltering man,
often the struggler has given up,
when he might have captured the victor’s cup,
and he learned too late when the night slipped down,
how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and you never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it seems so far,
so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
it’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
