Commitment; a brand new beginning

I will restart blogging in a regular basis, regardless of the number of readers I have a day, comments I have or whatever you can still think of. I have more time to spare since I have quited playing computer games as of now. I have taken a long break in this Prelim 1 by not revising my work (I will mention this later on), now it is time to reorganize myself and get back on the track. The reason why I have decided to continue with blogging is because through typing, I am able to organize my thoughts and feelings better since it is tangible, in a certain sense. However, take note that my blog post will not focus on what is happening in my daily life as I think that might be too mundane for some of you to take it. It will focus on my thoughts on ideas and life more.

Alright, regarding the situation in Prelim 1. I have teachers and friends questioning why I did not revise for it. Well, my reasoning is that this results that I will be obtaining in next week would be the worst case scenario of my O's level results. I think my confidence level would be affirmed then. Though some of you might ask, "shouldn't you be trying your best throughout all the examinations?" I don't fully agree with this. It is because in the end, we are preparing for O's level and I reckon by preparing yourself mentally is more important than just trying your best. This can be further reinforced by my previous post. 

So, I have already made a promise to myself as well as Ms Chua to quit playing computer games by this weekends. I'm sure I can do it since I have already stopped playing it for the first quarter of this year. I don't really have anything else to elaborate on this. Hahaha.

Just to leave you with a quotation: "An angry man can be made happy again, but a dead man cannot be revived again."

Advantages

As what Socrates stated when he was alive, it's better to have the ability to win and lose than the inability of them. This sounds reasonable for me. This is mainly because of the word "choice" here.

If you have the advantages in anything that you have, you would have the ability to make a decision out of many options that you are able to. Let us take something that is close to us analogy, academic. Once you are capable of doing a question, you would have many dilemmas, consisting of the variety of methods that you can use. This factor, even though it could lead you to make a fatal mistake in your answer, still proves that you are better than others who tried exasperatedly just to come up the correct answer. 

Why? Like what I have said earlier, it is about the advantages you have. In short, this reminds us of the importance of that process is more important than results, because the results does not necessarily reflect upon your knowledge to the others. Though I might sound like a loser advocate, I would like to take this opportunity that only those who rely on tangible achievements and that fail to understand themselves are really the true losers.
