JOEY :D

At that moment.

It made me truly understand, what being a success in life means.

It's not the brain, nor the looks. It's all in the HEART. Whether you have a good heart.

As she stood there, in front of everyone. It really touched me, that she had mustered up her courage, and thanked her parents, her grandparents, her friends, all those that have been in her life in one way or another. It suddenly struck me, would i be able to do that ? Would i have the strength, to stand in front of everyone and do that ?

There were so many people there.. her secondary school friends, her jc friends, her colleagues. I truly DO believe now, that friends go a long way with you. Just like what jiayi said.

But sometimes, it has to depend on YOURSELF. some people, they realise that as they move along in life, the friends they have just come and go.. there are never really any true friends. I don't believe that "friends come and go in life". i do, i truly do believe that if you have that kind of character and hold on to your friends, they won't just slip through your fingers. They, instead will be there to help you in times of need.

And, i want to be like her. I want to be strong, determined and kind. How did she manage to get so far in her career ? in her life ? i believe it's all due to her strong character, her willingness to accept challenges and not running away from them. Another thing is, her leadership qualities. These, help you to go very far in life. Of course, there would be times when you break down, when you feel like you can't carry on, when you feel like all you want to do is just give up. BUT, this is where your TRUE friends come in, they stand by you, they comfort you, they lend you a shoulder to cry on.

She always has a positive attitude towards things. I believe that that is very important as well. A smile to begin each day, whether good or bad. I guess it really brightens up the other person's day.

I need to change, and constantly improve myself. To be a better person, i admit, i'm not a very good one right now. I want to touch people, to lend a helping hand to those in need. Cherish my friends...

So from today onwards, i shall constantly remind myself, of her good example. Of how she managed to come so far.

I need to be determined, i cannot push away my responsibilities. I will try and overcome all the obstacles that come my way. Next year, will be the year we go overseas as a choir. I seriously think i need to change my attitude. As an SL, i must be strong, i must be willing to take all that ms lim says and gives us. LEADERSHIP qualities. DETERMINATION. POSITIVE ATTITUDE. Yes, i must be strong. I cannot keep thinking how difficult it would be ! Instead, i will face the music. (pun not intended). If i'm not going to take the responsibility, who will ?

I realised that it's not only studying that matters. But, i must put my best in whatever i do. Whether trivial or important. For example, EOYS is in 9 days. I must work hard, and do my best. (hahah, mr alex teoh said, think of $$ when you study.) Even when playing AUDITION, i will try my best to be good in that as well ! And at the same time, i will help people ! yes, i will.

All the talking doesn't really leave an impact. But, her example. really really left an impact on me.

I will work hard, i will work towards my goal, to be successful in life, to do my best in whatever i do. I promise.
