It is not about whether we can. It is about whether we want.


Going down for Campcraft Team Training today was pretty much a heartwarming experience. Having blogged about hoping to see my unit among the best. Today's training would be a fantastic start to build upon. Having started our trainings not too far back, we had seemed to be in danger of becoming unmotivated. And the team seemed to have lacked the passion and drive to succeed. And the Instructors worried.


The training today did dispel my fears, and renew my hope in them to push our unit to success. Because the drive was there. The constant pushing and craving to improve on their last try. The sense of urgency to better their last timing. The determination to go on despite the scorching heat. The spirit was there, with smiles all around. At the end of the day. I hope that each of them learned a much more important lesson than what any campcraft session could provide. Definitely not the neat lashings. Or the pegging. It was the fact that we have a team. That can acheive anything. It is only whether we wanted. And today, they wanted to succeed.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
