Back from a 4-day, Adam Khoo study skills camp. Finally had time to sit back, have a soda and post. These 4 days were really kinda amazing, or rather 3 because I missed out on the second day.
Through these 4 days, I learnt how fortunate and blessed I am, really. Leroy shared about the 4 different groups of people. And what hit me the most was those people who were born perfect physically, but they just had to be born citizen of a third-world country, suffering malnutrition and soon, starvation to death. What have I done to have deserve this special place here? Nothing. That’s life. Some are just not as fortunate as you are. It just reminded me to treasure all that I have now and focus on what has given to me instead of what that wasn’t. People dying everywhere and people deprived of a life, and here I am, typing on an iPhone, which during my time costed about $800, and there people are, dying. It really breaks my heart and I find it extremely depressing and that I’ve disappointed myself do much more than I thought I did. I liked how Leroy was Christian-based too. We are God’s best creations. He only permits the best to enter the world.
What am I doing with my life? How am I spending my life? Do I even deserve a life like this? All these questions ran around my mind. I finally came to a decision to sort my life out and focus on what I really wanted to do and buck up. I will commit to putting in my 100% in studying now.
Today, we focused so much on our parents. Leroy shared many stories that proved how great was our parent’s love for us. Sacrifices, that’s all they gave.
Papi, Mommy, I may not be your best daughter, but you guys are my hero. Both of you never fail to encourage me and reminded me to press on. It is those words that pushed me through tough times and overcome my fears and failures. Thank you for bringing me up in this Christian family, where you always sow seeds into my life and remind me of a greater calling. Thinking back at all the hard times you all had to bring me up and settle with my defiance and sacrifices, there will be no parents I would rather have. You two are my greatest inspirations and words can’t express how much I love you all. Thank you, Papi and Mommy!
This camp has taught me life values and it is truly inspirational and motivational. Pressing on to a higher call! Definitely, thank God for the strength He granted me with and the openness of mind. I WILL succeed!
