- the bullseye -
Hey I am back.
Well not with the new layout cos apparently my html-er is rather busy forgetting to do so. So anyway I wanted to post abit more about myself but decided to leave that for another time.
I had a long talk with my dad tonight. Or rather my dad did most of the talking while I just lay by and listened. Here's how it is. Was watching French Open Finals where Rafael Nadal was currently playing umm... something Puerta =P. Anyways my dad walks in to the room...
"You didnt do any work today huh.." in a peeved tone.
"Umm.. no.."
"Turn off the tv."
I did.
"Bobby, what do u want to get for 'o's."
"Umm.. 9?"
"Why?"
"Actually 8.."
"Why?"
"Cos I wanna beat Gor-gor who got 9."
"And do u know how far away u are? 17 is a loong way to go you know,"
[17 was my mid-yr L1R5]
"*sigh"
He gave me pointers. I shall now share with all who are willing.
What YOU need? 3D's, 1E, 1S.
The 3 D's.
-Determination. Drive. Discipline.
* Determination and Drive:
It is not enough to give your best. You must want something. You must DARN WANT IT.Look at Nadal. Without Determination and Drive he would have never beaten Roger Federer. [Federer is the current world tennis no. 1. Nadal is barely 19 yrs of age.] Federer is king. He owns. He humbled many past no.1's. Till he was humbled himself by Nadal. Can u imagine that? At just 19 YOU beat the WORLD NUMBER 1.
To add to this, look at the size of his arms. It's HUMUNGOUS!! Nothing like this can be acheived by just tennis alone. He must have gone to the gym. NOw that's true Drive. C'mon. YOu want your 8-9 points, +- 1-2, you must have those 2D's. Getting from 17 to 12-13 is not much of a problem if one up's one step to be consistent. Getting from 17 to eight... is 2/3 levels higher. Here's where effort comes into place.
* Effort:
It is not enough to finish the allocated study time. So what if you finish 7 hours of study a day? I mean definitely it counts but, at the end of the day, it is not enough. I don't noe enough study time put in. Effort and Drive maked you go beyond the limit. Effort and drive mean one seeks to NAIL every subject. Every field. To have TOTAL control, TOTAL grasp over it, and not let it control you. To seek and to search out every possible possibility till you DOMINATE the subject. To go beyond the study time to solve one question that seems impossible to solve. But any more than 7 hrs a day is, hehheh, heck of alot.
* Discipline. Sacrifice.:
Discipline. TO stick to the plan. the schedule.
Sacrifice. To give up something for something more. To sacrifice short-term for the long term good. There'll always be tv shows. Tennis Tournaments annualy. Junior Nadals.
WHY CANT YOU SACRIFICE JUST FIVE MONTHS OR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE?
I don't know.
Sacrifice.
Requires so much.
Extra tip. You need God's Favour. But don't bet on it. A's won't fall outta the sky.
Many ways of saying this.
Aim for the sky, for if you fall, you can still hit the treetops.
Reach for the sun, for if you miss, you still gotta moon.
Aim for 6 a1's, for if you fail u still can get 8 pts.
When you reach, aim differently you think much differently.
Here's my dad's.
Aim for the bullseye, for if you miss, you can still hit the second or third corona.
Should you aim for the third, you might miss the board altogether.
Goodnight.
