passion vs. laziness
mr and mrs A has a daughter, B, who are reaching the age of 17.
mr and mrs A lives in south-east, wish B to go to vjc as it's quite close and quite a good school as well.
B, however, has wanted to go to rjc after she graduated instead, and no matter wat mrs. A tries to change her mind, she just wanted to go to rjc, the top jc of sg.
upon knowing this, mr.A decided to talk to B.
"i know that rjc is a very good sch and i will not stop you from going to rjc."
"but u have to consider, if u go to rjc, u'll have to wake up 1h earlier everyday to go to sch. compared to if you are going to vjc. you'll have 2h less of leisure time when u can do other things than travelling."
"father will support you and not stop u, if you tell me you wanted to go to rjc still."
and after some consideration, B decided to give up upon going to rjc and goes to vjc instead.
-----
this shows that B's passion upon going to rjc is not as strong as it is.
if she really wanted to go, she would be willing to sacrifice her time just to travel to the sch that she wants to go.
this story is told by the hpm, him being the mr.A, haha...
the moral is to say that if your passion were to be strong enough to fight against your laziness, it isn't hard to say to why shooters like us can't go down to safra regularly to train regularly.
i know i wasn;t in the spot to say this to anyone [since i live near safra], but the story does tell alot, and motivates me to stop telling myself to be lazy and not go to safra to train, haha...
oh ho, and his reminder to abel is worth to take note of:
when u pointed out the same mistake to ur many team members, if you are not mentally strong urself, u mite be influenced and do the same mistake when u r shooting.
speculations that hpm wanna send us [the previous batch of nyt pistol shooters] to some major overseas comp, to be invited to ntt, or to be warned that we r in danger of being kicked out etc... are funny when the actual purpose of him meeting us on fri night is just to ask us for our opinions and feedbacks bout nyt.
