Life is a series of hurdles, each hurdle being an obstacle in life. The obstacle may be just a small feat for some people, they can overcome it with ease, however, for some, it is not so easy. So, what are some of the obstacles that you have faced in life? Is it the PSLE? The O-levels? A-levels? Sure, these are some of them. But think, obstacles are not only exams and tests. Through the process of achieving what you aim for, you are met with several difficulties. Sometimes you find it so hard to achieve that you feel like giving it up. [Hands up. "i surrender"] I agree that it is stressful to want to accomplish certain things in life. But don't fret. Don't give up. Why do you give up on yourself when nobody tell you to? [Forget it lah. I can never make it. It's fate that I am so useless.] Come on. Have faith in yourself. Why do you say that it's fate when it can be changed if you work hard to? Take for example overcoming the hurdles. You have to gather enough strength and momentum as you run towards the hurdle. Take off at the appropriate time; too early and you'll end up not crossing the hurdle and just fall flat on the ground; too late and you'll trip over the hurdle and may twist your ankle. From this you can learnt that timing and being prepared are very important. In real life situation it would be like sitting for an examination. Time management and studying beforehand and not wait till the eleventh hour to start panicking. I think many of us want to win, and like the feeling of winning. Just imagine yourself completing the hurdle race. What would you have felt if you were the first one to complete it? A great sense of triumph! A great sense of achievement! All the hardwork being paid off! It is all worth it, right? So starting working now and get ready for the race! For me, it is the Os. What about you? *V*
