Motivational Workshop day 1

*Tada!* Motivational workshop was awesome! Maybe because of the great hyper classes we had and our coach Elgin who is the lamest of all. Keep on entertaining us with very very cold jokes! Seriously, all thanks to Mr Stanley Lim, we didn't bring along our sweaters or jackets! Do you know inside the library, we were like freezing. Best, my seat located right directly where the aircon was blowing! Wasn't that cool? Because there is 2 class with nearly 60 students. We had our small groups and yah, my group was group 3 and we are the whatever (small girls with big dreams!) So we were suppose to write down our dreams. So when the coach asked the class, "What is your dream?" Frankly speaking, i don't know what is my dream and of course i just shamelessly put down "I want to become a rich tai tai" Umm, sounds great uh? Being a rich tai tai only for dreams. But what is my ambition? to be a? Coach told us that he had a dream of becoming a pilot and his dream came true however he was unhappy because that was just his dream and not he really wants at all. Thats why he end up becoming a coach because he wanted to motivate students more to reach out for their dreams. He had his goal and he gotten it. Good. For me, being a student? What do i really want? All i know that i don't want to do any officework at all. Something more exciting? More adventurous job? Everyday have different experience solving cases. I think of hotel management. I think of IR. I think of airport. I think of planes. I think of being an investigator. I think of animals. I think of music.. "dreams dream of when we had started things" No matter how many dreams i really have, what is my ambition? When i have my ambition, O levels must clear before moving on. I realise that i don't have a goal in my life. I'm just following the flow.. let it be..let it be.. Well, maybe right now is the best time to think what i really really want to be for my future.

I learn another value during the workshop. Fear, an emotion that everyone have to go through. Coach said that in order to overcome our fear, our mind and heart must be strong. We control the mind and yah, we control our fate. I got many many fears and i even listed down on that booklet. My fears for O levels.. my fears for not reaching the expectation i want. Fear of failure, fear for the future. Being a human is tough however it is challenging. I want to be a giant slayer. I want to slay my fears away.

In the workshop, we watched a small part of a movie which actually was a true story of an american black wanted desperately to be a diver. His name was Carl Barshear and just 10 minutes of the movie, i was inspirated and motivated by his ambition. Everyone knows that america is quite a racist and these white refused to allow Carl to be a diver because he is a black. So when he need to perform diving test, he surpose to go down deep to the seabed and screw up something which i don't know. So when he reached down, the temperture was very very low about 10 degrees or lower than that and his diver suit already twice of his weight. The white went to sabotage him when he asked for the tools, the white used the knife, cut the bag and throw it down to the sea. All the tools were around the seabed. However Carl did not gave up because he really want to be a diver. He was in the sea for 9hrs plus finding the tools and screw everything. After 9 hours, already late night and he shivered when he reach the top. It was so cold and the diver suit was sort of metal. So it was like freezing like hell. 9hrs! Majority of us would give up but he did not. Good thing that he become an offical diver. However misfortune fell on him. This boat incident made him lost a leg. He was crippled and he had no choice but to wear the fake leg to replace. He became amputee but he did not give up and he keep on trying to walk because he still want to be a master diver. The navy refused him but he did not give up. So during the court, i think the navy court. They tested him and he wore that diver suit which like weight like about his weight, made him stand on by his own and walk 12 steps. He was amputee and the suit was so damn heavy. He stand up, walked just 12 steps but this 12 steps were really hard to walk for normal divers but he, an amputee walking! Really touching and he managed to walk! Yays, really touched and i really can sense the perseverance in it. He was desperate, he had a strong mind and he achieved his dream, his ambition. He became the first american black to become a master navy. Anyway, the title of the movie is " men of honor" and he just passed away 2006. He is the men that not everyone can do it. I think i will just give up my dreams if i become amputee. He is a great man.

Ahya, we still have other topics too however it is impossible for me to type everything i had learn in there because tomorrow is gonna be a long day for me. The rest was ok and i like playing the games. yah, pretty fun. Ok, tired, need some rest. Photos down was from my phone. Did not took much because phone low batt and i kept on leaving my phone in my bag. We had our act cute fashion show and it was super funny. I am enjoying this worshop and tomorrow, GO GO GO!
