Don't Ever Give Up
Monday, May 10, 2010 @

I know I have some writer genes in me.
But I only have the ideas and not the language.


Chicken Soup for the Soul
Bet you know this book.
I read it just now and I have to admit,
It totally changed my perspectives of things with just two chapters.

Of course, I've never been a bookworm.
This volume of CS is subtitled, "Inside Basketball"
Now you understand how I managed to get myself to even read.

Back to the topic.
With stories from athletes, coaches and writers,
The short stories really inspired me, even though I only read through 2 chapters.
This book has made me believed that hard work and passion really do exist.

I've always been known as a hard worker, and not a smart one.
I believed basketball has shaped me to become an even harder worker.
Maybe I'm a little too old-fashioned,
but I still believe strongly in that.
Hard work pays, it really does.

These athletes we've seen on TV.
They are all hard workers, they work their asses off in the gym.
Wanting to play the game they love at their very best.
As critics and fans, we can easily criticize their performances
but we can never criticize the amount of hard work they put in.

The one thing many of us need is a motivation.
But it may take ages or even forever to find them.
But once you find them, don't let go.
You will then realize how important they may be.

I will continue to read this book and finish it.
Because it had changed my perspectives of things in a huge way.
That I want myself to calm down and not let anger get the worst out of me.

Everyone's born to be different
that's something I can't change.
But I can always change myself
and contribute to the society.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it."
- Fred Allen

Sometimes I appreciate the fact that I was never anyone special.
Because somehow in that way, I realized what it meant to be humble.

Last but not least, to my mom.
Happy Mother's Day :]
