One of the biggest enemy of all times - Ourselves?

Whatever we do, whenever we do it, humans are privileged enough to be empowered with the decision to choose. Choose we indeed will, but it doesn't seem like a privilege at all.

This is when that little bug in our head comes to work. What bug? Don't you realise that everytime we know that we should do particular things that are good or avoid things that are "not correct" (to say the least), we end up doing the opposite and feeling bad about it? Yes its the work of the bug. Somehow, when the issue or temptation or skipping lectures or tutorials arises, there seems to be this little voice in our heads murmuring out all the advantages of skipping them or this mental picture of you having all the fun under the sun, lagging at home. Whatever form it takes, it just seems that there is this force trying to pull us into sinning. Is that just human nature or something else? When I was a kid, I could still remember clearly how I committed my first theft. I stole a lolli from a provisional shop. How? I was very young then, and I am very sure I haven't seen anyone done it. That voice in my head, (whatever the source) taught me how.

Congratulations Amy. Just to make her happier haha, billions of people over the globe are able to know that Amy broke her old personal best for the 2.4km run. She clocked 13mins21sec, a whole 20secs faster than her old personal best. Ha she was so happy.

See what I mean. People who don't put in a fight or any effort whatsoever can ridicule those who push themselves to the limit, giving all they have. They simply do not know how it feels like to accomplish something. Amy had beaten herself today. She had beaten her own disbelief of improving on her old personal best. Haha I merely spoke a few words to her. Kendrick too felt for himself. Ha he cheekily asked me for my time even though I told him mine the day before, just to bring in the news that he clocked 10mins 10secs, 2 secs faster than me.

For the whole of Sec 3 and 4, his timing had been around 11mins ++ and had seldom broke the 11mins barrier. More than several times, I had told him that he was capable of much better timings, evident from his muscles. (Mental image: Muscle-man-ken with his traditional hunchback running style) Physically he was and still is capable, but he only truly accepted and believed this time round. And yeahs. He was happy.

I have lived 16 years++, sufficient to know that the run of life is much tougher than the physical run. Tempations will stumble you along the way. When you run, you can see with your eyes whether you are going in the correct direction. But hardly so for the invisible run of life. Many have lost their aim, lost their drive. They have derailed and often it's too late before the realise it.

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."
-Henry Ford (1863-1947)

Run the marathon of life. Run it well. I'm a Christian, so I run for Christ.
