Life.Lessons
Again, it got to be an outfield exercise that got me thinking again. After the heli-insert into a 4 and a half days boring defence exercise, i came out with severals ideas to blog about, since i’ve been leaving this blog rather barren for a couple of months.
The count is 40 odd days to ORD and yes i was still in the jungles of singapore with the GPMG mounted before me and a trench dug for me to hide in. Well duty calls for me to stay up most of the time at night so all i could do was 1. stare into nothingness, 2. stare into nothingness and 3. stare into nothingness.
I did have some take-aways from all these staring and here are some sharings.
In life, its just like army – It goes on and you cant take the easy way out. someone once told me back in taining school; ‘when the enermy is in range, so are you.’ take it literally or not, this phrase actually contains deeper meaning than what it seemed to be. Somehow it felt like, for every step or action you take in life, you have to take a step back and look at yourself and think twice before carrying out your plans.
Be it in the trainings, studies or in life, we are bound to face difficulties along the way, always keep in mind that when the going gets tough, rememeber that someone is fighting a war much harder than yours and always keep on the positive attitude for, what that doesnt kill you will only make you stronger. Press on and never compromise your standards.
Anyway, im quite sure that this is gonna be my last major exercise and i should be preparing to get a job outside before school starts August next year. i hope everything will turn out well and i should really stop procrastinating and start searching.
40 over days more to go and i can almost smell freedom. come on.
