i seriously dont know how to say this. it took me alot of courage to type everything out.
i know recently there has been alot of competition among us. choosing of cross teams, relay teams. okay i'm really sorry if i potrayed an image of giving up, when it reflects to you that i am nothing but a bitch who don't treasures my opportunities, a pampered princess who knows nothing but whining and not understanding those who wants to have the chance but couldn't get it. i understand how it feels totally cos i have experienced it before. but maybe not this time round.
i feel that all of our standards are the same, it's just a matter of whether or not you want to let it out of you. you've got the potential, yet you keep it within you. naturally, no one would be able to discover your talents. opportunites are meant to be achieved, you need to shine to let pple know that you can do it. only with hard work will comes good result. there's no point if you keep your ability to run within yourself cos no one will but yourself would discover it.
nothing will help except for you yourself proving to others, to coach, that YOU CAN DO IT, and not get defeated by your team mates, or even worst, by yourself. a parent should not blame on the floor when the child falls, or to divert the child's attention by giving them sweets, or even help them up. the child needs to stand up by herself aft the fall, her parent can only guide her. from the whole process of falling and trying to stand up, the child needs to treat it as a learning process and not a road to defeat.
i understand that these words are easy to say, but hard to put in action. like myself, many times i only know how to treat everything as my own downfall but not trying to learn and get up from the spot that i fall from. yes, it is always easy to say these comforting words when you are not in the shoes of those who felt defeated. i can only say that the decision lies in your own hands. this is a selfish world, you have to pay your own price, you have to fight for your rights, your opportunities, you have to be selfish as the person who'll ultimately survive is you and not your friend.
i understand that is a rather a disturbing post, i certainly hope that i don't offend any of you, i'm just speaking from the bottom of my heart. anyw, i've deciede to give the relay a shot. yes, a team's rise and fall depends on each and every of the team member, and i'm just too weak mentally to burden this responsible. but, giving up without even started is just too much of a coward and a real athlete, a true runner, should never have this kind of mindset. also, by giving up is also very unfair to those who wants to have a chance but couldn't. seriously, i find that the trails conducted are truely unfair, but i'm sure that the teams are not confirmed yet so make good use of this period of time before the race to prove yourself, to prove to coach, to prove to all of us, that you have the potential.
