wow...did a really cool interview with the managing director of Barang Barang, the furniture place at Great World City. The guy is insanely business-minded lah...Basically interviewed him cos he's an entrepreneur and i'm taking this entrepreneurship module. Gosh...really learnt alot from him regarding how to view and strategise for business. In fact, i think i acquire more knowledge in that 1-hour session than one whole term of e dumb entrepreneurship module. Anyways, just to share, one of the things he mentioned that really struck me was how he said, "Sports is very important". Of course, on top of the keeping the body fit and mind sharp aspect of sports, he talked about how sports can actually build character. Cos, in order to be the best, u gotta compete against the rest. Sports is probably the platform where u can actually compete respectfully and ethically. (ok, assuming no one takes drugs or bribes yah? No argument is totally sound~!) Yup, so in sports, most times, it is down to sheer hard work and passion that will see you better the other person. Speaking of which, i managed to get a game of street footy near my house just now~! Really needed it man...felt the stress throughout the day today. Played with a bunch of malays..sheesh...they were brilliant...and only 15-18 years old. They were like doing some nike advert while playing..Yes, they were THAT good. Seems that they were from the ex-Jurong FC youth team. No wonder. Which brings me to my point that sometimes effort just ain't enough. Think thierry henry..some ppl are just extra-blessed by God in their own way. Sometimes, you just gotta take a step back, admire their talent, and just take comfort that you've done your best and have no regrets. SIGH. Tomorrow's gonna be a hectic day...BB in the morning followed by 1 whole day in school doing project. Actually looked forward to playing field soccer with the church team but seems like it's not on anymore...ah well...c'est la vie..
