i need to train...

just came back from a short jog around my house. should be running a little more often than i am to train for the scm which is coming up real soon. and the funny thing i've realised is tt i'm now limited by not having enough time to train cause each run will take abt 60 mins.

and with CAs coming up... *haiz*

realised today also tt i really shouldn't be stressed over CAs. tt's not the way man. haha but looking at how much we have to study and considering it's onli 3 wks away...

STUDY time. but just don't stress!

during the run just now i was thinking of what it means to be humble. many pple think tt being humble is to say "no lar... i'm damn lousy..." after they top the class for a test or get a gold medal for some sporting event. it's hardly so. cause tt's not humbleness but stinking pride.

humbleness is in fact "a lack of false pride". not drawing attention to yourself when it is not due. tt's the key - when it is not due. cause when praise is due, freely accept it as much as we who are around ought to freely give it.

accepeting praise when it is deserved is true humbleness.

when genuine ability is exhibited, pple who say "no lar, i'm not good" and do not mean it are hypocritical; pple who really mean it when they say it suffer from an inferiority complex; yet pple who accept praise tt is due (not one bit more) are the truely humble ones.

let's not be afraid to graciously thank others for their sincere congragulations on our successes in life; yet also learn not to feel shocked when someone actually accepts praise when we offer it.
