IM MOTIVATED.

yes. im VERY motivated now in fact. i feel that im ABLE to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.

and im feel so thankful that i attended the STUDENT COUNCIL CONFERENCE at Tanjong Katong Secondary School.

and these 4 ppl INSPIRED me.

Mr Leo Chen Ian - President of Disabled People's Association

He was very persistant and despite his disability, he managed to prove to people that he can do things just like a normal person.


Mr Edwin Siew - Head (Training Development) Outward Bound Singapore

he told us how to overcome fears and that..

what lies ahead is UNCERTAINTY,
what lies within is ABSOLUTE.

and that..
look before you leap,
but he who hesitates will be LOST.


next person who has made a GREAT IMPACT in my mindset is..
Ms EUNICE OLSEN - Nominated Member of Parliament
let me share something which is funny during her talk. she knowing that all of us are leaders, wanted to select one boy and one girl to share the experiences of being a student leader. so after she interviwed this guy, she walked up to my aisle which im sitting at the end of it. and she was coming nearer and nearer and so i was like thinking "go down go down go down". and bcos of this, i think i caught her attention and so she came up to me and started asking me questions! so SCARY! but it was a RARE OPPORTUNITY. (:

some sayings from her that got me thinking and inspired me a lot:

SAY what u MEAN,
MEAN what u SAY.

success is NOT final, failure is NOT fatal.
it is the COURAGE that COUNTS.

finding WEAKNESSES = discovering CHALLENGES

i can only say that i am VERY INSPIRED because of her. (:


last but not least,
Ms Elim Chew - President and Founder of 77th Street

she's a really funny and generous woman and an evidence is that if we answer her questions, she would give us a $5 77th street voucher, which fabian has got his hands on the 2 of them. URGH! i want the vouchers! I WANT I WANT! (:

ohh.. and she had made a GREAT IMPACT in my mindset too because of this very meaningful video clip that she showed us called WORDS TO LEAD BY.

some quotes from there:

a leader is a dealer of HOPE.

everyone has the vision which is the ability to see.
but a leader has the Vision to see something which is INVISIBLE.

a leader blames softly,
and praises LOUDLY.

a leader is just an ORDINARY person,
with EXTRAORDINARY DETERMINATION.

authority is a POOR substitute for leadership.

as i had said, IM VERY MOTIVATED.

and to gerald and christabel,

I CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

SO DONT LAUGH.
