A-C-H-I-E-V-E-M-E-N-T

So had this random thoughts in my head about progress and achievement. Had a nice little conversation with a friend of mine whom I have not met since Secondary School. So randomly came across a good read and thought i should share:

“Achievement, simply put, is accomplishing whatever goals you’ve set for yourself.

Achievement is doing what you want to do within the bounds of the law.

It is the pursuit of dreams.
It is liberty from the chains of fear and unbelief.
It is recognition of what makes you unique and what you have to offer others.
It is the realization, the substance, and the tangibility of a dream fulfilled.

However, it is important to know that accomplishing your goals is done through the fire of your Will.

Without a strong desire/Will, you will not believe.
Therefore, you will not achieve.

Yes, you will want to achieve, but there’s much more to achievement than simply wanting to.

Achievement requires drive and, in many cases, single-mindedness.

Once you’ve truly made up your mind, once you have a vision of where you’re going and how you’re going to get there, you must speak and act as if it is already done.

In spite of what you see, in spite of what you hear, you must continue to speak and then act on your vision.

Why? Because we believe what we hear. And we act on what we believe. Fear and unbelief are the main ingredients of failure. They reveal the internal struggle that causes so many to quit before they see the fruit of their labor and experience the joy of accomplishment.”

So what is an achievement to you?

2012 - Counting my Blessings…

2012 is coming to an end. As I’m wide awake in this hour just thinking about the past year, I couldn’t help but count my blessings. What I am today. What I have today. They all exist because of everybody who has made such an impact in my life.

Recital 2012:
I have done recital for 5 years and I have always enjoyed the process every single year but somehow this year felt so special because looking back, there are these people who stayed with me, who stood by me all these years never once doubting me and allowing me to achieve things that even I never knew I could. I have said these to my recital dancers this year, but I’ll say it again. Everything that I have and all that I have achieved in dance are all because of all of you who relentlessly come for classes, who showed me so much passion and talent that gives me the strength to keep pushing myself. 5 years ago, when I decided to take dance as a career, would I ever thought I would come to this point in my dance career, absolutely not. It has exceeded what I thought was possible. And I am so grateful and thankful for everyone! And I meant every one of you who have come and gone these 5 years. And people that knew me, know that I have extremely good memory! I remember most of you guys since NTUC days! :)

In Dance, I’m mostly blessed. I am always lucky. I am always privileged. Things fall in place for me nicely and I really don’t take these things for granted because I am truly honored and appreciative of what everybody entrusted me and what these people around me allow me to achieve. Meeting the right people who have always believed in me. O SCHOOL is a lifesaver. Without it, I might have gone back to my hometown doing god-knows-what. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to find myself, to grow to love people, to grow to enjoy sharing/teaching/mentoring.

I am not an emotive person. I don’t out-rightly praised and thank people enough. I used to believe that as long as deep in my heart I am thankful and appreciative, that’s good enough. But it is not enough. Once in a while, these words just need to be let out. I’ve learnt that. And because I don’t want to take things for granted, I just need to change. And because I have so many people around me who deserve all these praises and thanks, I just need to change.

I believe 2013 will be an even more amazing year! And I am sooooo looking forward to it: both the ups and the downs because no matter what happens, I always have people around me whom I could share these joy and sadness with and with just that, I am truly blessed.

This is coming from a boy from Medan, Indonesia. A place which till today don’t even have a street dance school. If I can, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Just have to believe.

Urban Dance Camp - 7 years since I joined NRA. 4 years since I joined O School. And now this. No words could describe how grateful and how blessed I am with everything that has happened in my dance life. Who would have thought traveling overseas to teach would even be remotely possible and let alone Urban Dance Camp. This is such a push to me personally in terms of dance. It gives me so much to look forward to, so much to work even harder on and so much strength to believe in myself that things will fall in place one way another as long as you believe. So continue believing because nothing is impossible. “Keeping Faith” ….

Scattering Thoughts

No one in this world can acquire perfection. Everybody always has pros and cons. Otherwise, the primary difference between the winners and the losers is just the way of perceiving their advantages as well as their disadvantages. The winners see their success as a motivation and their failure as a lesson. Thereafter, both of them can apparently enhance the winners to greater steps of success. On the other hand, the losers are truly egotistic with all their achievements and somehow find the ways hide their losses as stealthy as possible.

STRIVE TO BE BETTER
The more you are striving now, the better you will get in the future. The development of human beings is mainly the development of the society. People should impulse themselves to overcome new obstacles in lieu of allowing themselves to stop and be satisfied. However, they should sometimes accept themselves to avoid unnecessary losses

LOSS
Losing is part of life it is how you deal with a loss that can either desolate you, or amend as an individual. The easy part is losing, accepting a loss is hard.

GRIEF
Grief takes many forms for all of us depending on a number of factors. Our relationship to the person dying, our age, our personalities, whether or not we have experienced any losses before, and the number of losses in our lives are but a few of the different factors that affect our bereavement. Each loss is different and the grief manifested will be experienced in different ways as well
