Inspire


People say Life isn't that fair.
We want to prosper financially, but it's tough.

What must I do in order to earn more than I can spend?
How many years must it take to achieve financial freedom?
For many, it's almost impossible.

When the opportunity comes, strike.
Don't wait for others to do the same before you start.
Be the pioneers.

I want to be in the state, where as I'm spending on my daily necessities and durable goods, I will still find that I'm still making money.
And with the extra income, I want to bless others.
Help them gain independence of their own financial status and not just buying them what they need.
Teaching them how to fish instead of giving them a fish.

How much can my future self earn per month?
$3,000? $5,000? $10,000?
Only He knows.

I cannot water others unless I have been watered first.
I want to bless others tremendously.
Create smiles on people's faces.
But in a way, also teaching them to take hold of their lives and be successful.

That will be my future job.

Escape


There were times, when I just wanted to be in my own world, own space, without a care for the people and things around me.
"There are too much problems to settle."
"This is not the way things are supposed to be like."
"Why am I not successful?"

We ask these questions, and we refuse to face the facts in life.

Life isn't easy.
Life has it's own share of difficulties.
And it gets even more complicated as we get older.

We are given more responsibilities.
Burdens of family and friends share the weight on our shoulders.
Tasks and deadlines are thrown at us at a constant pace.
Stress builds up and we fall apart.

We "escape" into a world where we feel that none of it has happened.
And we fade into a trap which pulls us deeper and deeper into itself.




But we are meant to conquer and take dominion over our lives.
We have the authority and ability to control what happens to us.
Our feelings, emotions, thoughts all can be controlled by us.

Ignorance will aggravate our problems and make them more severe.
Falling mindlessly out of reality will only make life worse as we fail to find the solutions.
We fail to face the fear of failure.


Courage is not defined as having no fear at all.
Instead, courage is defined as the ability to have the faith and strength to face fear even though it may be difficult.


Yes, the walls may be difficult to break down, the mountains may be too hard to climb.
Situations may be out of hand, relationships may be falling apart.

But have the courage.
Courage to look at the future and say, "It will work out fine."

Stop trying to escape reality.
Bear the courage.
Face your fears.

Rockerfield

A good performance requires both skill and experience.
It requires practice, tonnes of it.
But most of all, a good performance is due solely on the unity and friendship of the performers.
My best shows were made the best because I had fun.
It doesn't matter if we weren't the most skilled.
We made it the best because we saw it as the best.
The time spent practising and repeating my parts in songs.
The late nights we had jamming after school at Potong Pasir due to our busy schedule.
The long hours perfecting our songs under the void decks in Pasir Ris.
The many moments we shared chilling out at each others houses.
The countless accidents we have had(including my burnt wrist), which did not stop us from putting up a good performance.
It was all worth it, when we stepped on stage and gave it our all.

Through all my experience, I've learned one important thing.
Talents that we have never give us first-hand glory.
We are just vessels.
He created the talents and granted us gifts for reasons.
And they were meant to glorify Him.
My talents? No.
They're not mine, they're His.

Take them, anoint them, multiply them, use them, through me.
