My last lesson in school..
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Wah!! WAH!! WAH!!!... I finally self-declare that i am graduated from RP!!! YEAH!!... I am a diploma holder now le!! So happy yeah!
I have been working with Serene this days in MOE for the transferring of old data to the new computers. Damn tiring leh... have to carry alot of things than open up the new laptops and PC and stack them nicely.. More like doing warehousing... But it was fun after all.. haha
I wanna tell u all somethings... The last day of school.. Mr. Caleb Ng give us the RJ inside got 3 questions... The Reflection Jorney question was:
What is/are your goal(s) in life? Are you on the right track in achieving your goals? Does your current lifestyle correspond to achieving your goal(s)? Why?
My response to the RJ was:
My goals in life are to find a stable job when i am out of army and to earn my 1st half million by the age of 30. I think i might be in the right track of achieving my goals. I will study part time if i can find a job. With the government grant, i can earn at the same time to study to achieve a higher level of education. Yes. Actually i start working part time since secondary. I am quite an independant child.
His reply to the individual comments was:
Dear Kelvin,
You have a goal but you would need to work out how to reach your goal. What job? and how to make half million by age of 30? Planning is needed.
(I only said i wanna make 1 million before 30 because i dunno what to rite for my goal leh, basically i do not have goal in life... Planning? I also know to plan.. Plan to go out play.. plan to slp and plan to go where eat..)
Having goals is important, in both your personal and professional life. The number one thing you must do in order to be successful is have a goal. (Wao.. sounds like some motivation course)
It doesn't matter how well organized you are. It doesn't matter how determined you are. It doesn't matter how hard you work. If you don't have a predetermined course or direction, you're simply spinning your wheels. (Did you try to copy and paste this things from some motivation novel books?)
Goals add order and structure to your life.
Goals allow you to measure your progress, to see whether or not you're improving. Psychologically, it's important to feel that you're not just standing still in your life, but moving forward, toward your destination and always getting closer and closer to your goal. So when you attain your goals, you will feel that you've have accomplished something significant. (I think this is from wikipedia leh.. the defination of 'goals')
That's because you have.
Success is success. It doesn't matter how big or little it is. It's still spelled the same way. Even the tiniest of successes can motivate you and give you pride in your achievements. On the other hand, when you don’t achieve what you set out to accomplish, it can be very frustrating.
But that's okay. Being frustrated is all a part of life. It's learning how to deal with that frustration that separates the winners from the losers.
There's an old saying:
"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
In other words, failure isn't going to kill you. If you've got the right stuff, it's only going to strengthen your resolve.
It's okay, if you don't reach your goals, the first, second, tenth or even the one hundredth time you try.
The important thing is that you try...and that you keep on trying!
And when things get too unbearable for you, which they invariably will, and you're ready to give up.
Just remember this quote by Michael Jordan:
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Don't EVER give up on your goals! EVER!
