| Goal Setting Tomorrow... Time to sleep now!
| | |
| After a great fattening 4 days following the OUA playoffs its time to bounce back into shape! - literally a litre of Breyer's ice cream (EVEN though it was low fat) loL  - umm, a good steak.... - 2 peppermint mocha, and a pumpkin cream cheese muffin - 1 polish sausage, doubles chocolate crossisant, Ham and Swiss sandwich - but i did manage to have 30 grapes in my mouth!
Time to get back on track with school and badminton  The little incident that happened last night was definitely ... revolutionary... i'm sure we learn a lot by really opening up to each other and sharing them feelings.. i think i've become a victim of individualism (not that its bad at all, totally rational, totally applicable) but it is making me less sympathetic towards situations where at times, consolations does not require one to tell what has already been told and one cannot try to sympathize with the most direct train of thought. I think im seeing too much of the big picutre and neglected the more important pictures, the ones that matter. Although, I'd like those important pictures to see the big pictures too, because seen in that light, it'll make it all the better. OoOo... We've got such a long way to go... so many more lessons to be learnt...

| The end of a beginningHate to start things in the negative but it is a fact, and i will face it. UofT came 3rd in the OUA championships on Saturday with a lose to Waterloo 5-8 and a win against York. Heading into the OUA playoffs with high expectations with the 'goal' anxiously wandering in our minds, the fact that we are a young team definitely showed on the court on Saturday morning. Wayne was probably right about us being overly excited. The ladies did their job and the men just did not perform. What could of.. would of... should of... All that are just excuses to get by trying to make myself feel better... This set back will definitely fire us up, at least those of us who 'wants' it, and prepare for another exciting year next year... I need to find a way to believe, to say the things i do, and do the things i say... I need to focus, I need to focus, I need to focus.... I need to....
I was disappointed at how easily Warren and I lost the doubles... lots of improvement needed on Doubles.. I was disappointed at how close we got, once again, in the 3 gamers, that we did not pull through... still trying to learn how to win... I was disappointed at how I lost focus at the point where one more step forward could have meant something... I was disappointed that ...
WHY the negative thoughts?!
It has been a great lesson learned the harder way indeed. Like Wayne said, we're one year ahead of where we should be. I know we're going to get there! We will get there! I'll do all I can! The re-building programming is not even close at reaching its potential... What is learned with contribute to what is to be earned.....
You've got to believe, Andy!

| How do we handle obstales? Tackle them instead of fleeing, for we grow proportional to it. Do not be afraid of rejections. Fear sets limits. When one has limiting thoughts, it'll lead to a limited life. Financial pressure: spend 10% income on the needy, 10% on investment, 10% on products. Do not be satisfy with yourself, for it only prevent you from reaching higher. (Ray Kroc: When you're green, you grow; when you ripen, you rot.) When comparing with anothers, there's always someone worse or better. Compare yourself yo yourself, for you are the limit you set upon yourself. Give more than you receive.

Wayne talked about 'choices' on Monday night. Choosing to win. Although that night might be the first nigt, ever, that i remember Wayne praising me so much. I had to admit, i was very flattered. It was good in a way that i know i am heading towards the right direction, it was bad in a way that it might trigger some 'self-satisfaction' in me. The latter was not the case however, I don't think i can ever be satisfied with my performance in badminton and training. (Now if only i can apply that to other areas of my life too... like school but i think its getting there). For the past few days, other than trying to stay focus on my studies, the thought of the tryout for the "Canada Winter Games" kept flying through my mind. Just thinking about the possibilites. Two u23 males, three u21 males, Two u23 females, three u21 females; to represent Ontario and competing in Whitehorse. Wayne said I'll need to go to more tournaments where I can play agsinst players at a high calibre. But for now, OUA is more important.
As for you, hehe, i'm sorry if i've been very busy with things but i know you'll understand 
Too many things have accumulated in my mind for the past 2 months, can't get it all out right now. Time!

| A month has passed already... how Time never fails to speed up these days.... I don't think i'll be able to recollect everything that has happened in this past month, for better or worse, they all happened for a reason, if not reasons. More better than worse though, so i'm not complaining, just that its funny how many things we can learn from our everyday experience. Things are going to get tough this year, juggling several things with the limited hands that i have. But there will be not excuse. If these are the things that i really want to do and have, there is always time! I will not back down from anything that is going to interfer with what i want to accomplish these coming months... (but first, what do i want to accomplish?) Lately, i have been slacking off with the workout which should not happen as tryouts are coming up and the beginning of the season. I can throw in many 'excuses' to blind me from the profound fact that i have not tried hard enough to do what i really want and should do... after this summer, excuses will be limited in my world...
#1, You're the best, You're the best, You're the best, You're the best, You're the best!!!!!
