Courage is in the Moment

It's true-courage is in the moment.

Sometimes you feel the urge to do something, and a surge of motivation and energy overwhelms you. Then when this little voice comes and points out all the flaws in your idea, you think it over again and lose the enthusiasm to do it. This can be good sometimes, but when courage is needed for the good, this can stand as a real problem.

So, how do you overcome this?

Well, having a strong and firm intention helps a lot. Don't let anything waver your spirits--keep up whatever you are doing as long as you feel it is right. Whenever you feel like giving up, just remind yourself, what are you doing this for?

Silence is Gold?!

I had a sore throat yesterday. It was torture, but being the type of person who loves to be involved, and a talkative one at that, I forced myself to speak. Mom says it's about unreleased emotions, maybe it was the 10% I got on my last test? I don't know. This morning I completely lost my voice. I felt really left out of all conversations, although everyone paid me more attention than before. Pity?  But after that when I went for the Extra Curricular Activities, there were these team building games. I admit, I like shouting commands, telling people what to do. But the energy and spirit of the games just brought me up so high that I got my voice back. I still sounds like a boy going through, ahem, changes...but I AM SO HAPPY that I have my voice back and I don't have to write everything on a piece of paper. Life never lets me down.

Yay! Our exams are over!

Last week was our exam. I realized that although it's been over for about 18 hours now, but I am still...resentful, you could say, about not doing my best. This was my first term exam in secondary school, so I guess I was pretty nervous and forgot everything. But I tell myself there will be next time. And this thought will make me look forward to future exams in which I will definitely do better.

But I think it's also my competitive ''spirit'' that makes me feel all the more unsettled. You see, everyone in my class has high hopes of me beating the long-term genius. But I guess new beginnings always start off with a challenge to boost you for the future. I definitely won't repeat those mistakes once they are etched permanently in my mind.
