Trials and setbacks are obstacles in life designed to help us grow.


Going down for both the Boys and Girls Campcraft Competition Preliminaries, it has been a real eye-opener. And, despite what happened, I am going to be very frank and admit that I went to the competition with high hopes for both teams. And that is the confidence I have in them. And no matter what, this confidence will still remain.


For many of us, today was a setback. Maybe for some, it would count as the greatest setback in their lives to date. And its not difficult to figure out why. Because, they have trained so hard for today. They have trained under the sorching sun. In the rain. Through the school holidays. During the packed school days. And the effort each and every single member of the team put in is nothing short of awesome. And it never fails to amaze me that every person, can be so fiercely committed to their common cause. And that was probably to get into the finals.


And we may have failed to meet our goal. Or our own expectations. And it is definitely disappointing. It hurts deep down. But we must learn how to accept setbacks in our life. Because not everything is going to go in our favour. Neither does that mean that we do not push ourselves hard enough. And do not expect ourselves to acheive in everything we do. Face it, everyone of us sets high expectations for ourselves- it is only whether we make it known.


And when we do face setbacks. We must know how to pick ourselves up, and move on. There would be no use brooding over what has happened. We feel the hurt and disappointment, and we move on after that. Because we can.


To both the Boys' and Girls' Campcraft Competition Teams 2006. I am just so damn proud of all of you.

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.
