The greatest challenge.


Going back to school today, it almost felt like a miniature culture shock. Seeing people who looked younger rather than older than us. In their different uniforms. Wearing the brown uniform and singing the National Anthem. It has been a long time. It has been a long time since I last sat in the lecture theatre. Tried paying attention to my tutor. Having assignments to complete. This year is the most important year to date. How I want to graduate, I will determine. The expectations are raised. The competition is stiff. I do not want to look back in despair. Nor with regret. Tests are coming up real quick. And I will just have to dig in and study real hard. Hopefully, with my dream and goal, will result in determination and dilligence. This was my first and only new year resolution. But it is not the only.


I want to excel academically. Because it is my duty to do so. However, I am resolved to grow in spiritual maturity as well. Thus, setting aside time everyday for God. That I read His Word and know His Will in my life. And I want to reflect a person who truly has God in my life. Through behaviour, and in character.


Leading on to my final resolution. To treat people around me much better. To become more people-orientated. Because, many a time, I get too engrossed with the job at hand. That I forget about how the people around me feel. Be it with friends, or my colleagues in NPCC. And even so within the family.

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.
