All Stars

Dear one and all, please take time to read this but if you think its crap, then nvm =) highly quoted from my friends and some of my personal thought.

competition's just 10 days away and time is ticking away. i believe everyone is tired from the hard work, but amidst all preparations and i think its important to take a step back and reflect on ourselves. A blind and undirected struggle to achieve success will certainly not land us a position in the finals.

The success of a sportsman never comes easy and there are distinct qualities that differentiate a champion team that makes the cut and one that doesnt.

Rule number 1: You have to have a dream to have a dream come true
we only have to believe you can and thus u can. i rmb i was in primarcy school and i was playing in the inter class badminton match against some other teams. i like totally look down on my own friends and said they cannot make it. (paiseh, i primary sch tt time super mean one). then they all got super pissed with me and were determined to prove me wrong. and in the end they WON. i cant believe it, but yah, they WON, they were really qt lousy. i like waiyin's quote alot.. the ball is round, anything is possible. WE WILL PLAY IN THE FINALS GALS.

Rule number 2: Champions persevere to achieve their goals

this one sounds lame but its true. last time, i used to tell myself, i am weak i cannot run anymore. but its not true. i am not weak. i am hongli (get the joke hahahaha). anw the most impt thing is to persevere. trng may be harsh but everyone is gg thru this with you, fighting for the same goal. giving up and not being motivated wont get you anywhere. (like i've said, only the bus, mrt, taxi and aeroplane can). hang on!

Rule number 3: Courage is an ingredient that is indispensible in the recipe for success - the willingness to put oneself on the line, to risk embarrassment, to have no fear of failure.

Even to take the first step out to achieve what you want. If you are really afraid to fail then you may never try out new and innovative ways to improve. You may work hard yet eventually still overtaken by someone who is not afraid to fail. A method to ahieve this is to seek help from others and there are 2 types of people who attract truly qualified help: those who try hard, never admit defeat in the face of setbacks, and those who are always open to suggestions. Therefore, we as individual players must always be open to comments or even criticisms, and we must be willing to learn, pia and fight.

of course we know that we are not the only team aiming to become champions. There are others with the same goals in mind. in the end, I firmly believe that it still boils down to one very basic question once we set our goals, make our plans and begin our quest. We have to ask ourselves each and everyday, "How badly do we want it?" Because the thirst for victory is such a strong determination of success. Eventually, I believe that the team that wins it would be the one that wants it most.

and even though i cant play, i just want to say, for the seniors, we've worked hard enough for these 1 year 3 months and i've repeated like one million times to almost everyone. this is our last chance to prove ourselves for all the hard work we've put in last year and now. for juniors. i hope you all will be more motivated to help us prove soccer girls right, everybody is given a chance to play, its only how much you want to work for tt position and for ur position.

even though i may whole day joke and post stupid jokes, i'm serious now.
we may not be the best individual players around but we will play together as the best team in the competition.
See you in the finals, hwachong. =)
