Going the extra mile
I hate it when people have the natural talent to do stuff... e.g.( playing the piano, learning soccer, doing Muay Thai)
It kinda sucks that other people who take so little time and so little training becomes so damn good at it!
Here are some eureka stuff... I've never won a medal in my ENTIRE life. I've never taken part in any competition...
I've never gotten 1st for anything (ohh... except being 1st from the last in class)
It feels like i've achieve nothing!
I was talking to a friend the other day about going to Thailand to train Muay Thai... he was like laughing and he said this, "i think you better go and condition yourself first lah ahh."
I agree with him... that was what the Muay Thai Instructor said to me last saturday during training.
My instructor Alvin... suggested that i should have a 3 week intensive fitness and conditioning training before i go to Thailand.
Than my friend said this, "ehh andrew... i think you better condition yourself before the 3 weeks of hell"
The funny thing is... i'm training for the 3 weeks of intensive course.... which the 3 weeks i will be training for the 1 week in Thailand... and the 1 week in Thailand is for my competition at the end of the year. (Hopefully i can take part)
I believe that people have the natural talent to do certain stuff... as for my case, i think i've just gotta go the extra mile... just to become half as good as those natural talents.

Recently, while in the office talking to a colleague, she said something about guys coming "in a package". And i had to agree. You can't have everything, can you? It all comes in a package, a little bit of this and a littl bit of that. And i think you have certain things that many people don't have. I just think there's something about you, a kind of friendliness that is really rare in the society today. Of course, i know what you mean when you say that others pick things up so easily and become good at it so fast, because i've felt that way before. But you wanna know something? You've always been a very capable person in my opinion. And trust me, a lot of many other people think that way too. You learnt things that i never would have a chance to learn. Your guitar skill way surpasses mine. Your general knowledge of things are in greater abundance in comparison to mine. What else besides Muay Thai? Aikido? Taekwondo? Yes, maybe in certain cases, you need to go an extra mile. Who doesn't? We all need to do that sometimes. And i believe you'll be where you want to be, as long as you keep moving. You can move slowly, but never, ever stop moving.
(Ok, i think i better keep it short next time.)
