Sometimes I really wonder if I have got my perspectives right.
Training so persistently and for what ultimately?
Thank goodness, I have sort that out myself some time ago.
For the company? Or to give myself a sense of a purpose?
Sometimes the heart wins over the brain in such a weird fashion.
I think I have made to right choice in pursuing the intangible rewards rather than the tangible ones for attending trainings, in a way, I have gained so much more in terms of the relationships forged and the laughs i shared than others who may have been better skilled but have not enjoyed trg as much.
The purpose again for this post? To convince people not in contention for the main 12 to train consistently. To encourage fellow teammates who have doubts about attending training to reconsider again. Sometimes, we just need to appreciate the intangibles in life a little more. Do you attend trainings just so you can have a shot at standing on the winning podium or more so you can have a good time with your teammates, sweating and working together. This is my own perspective, dun ever let the decisions you make be influenced by a great deal of pragmatism, by being so calculative, you may stand to even lose so much more.
Anyway, four more months before all trainings halt and our high sch vball career to come to an abrupt end. Lets train hard and treasure the remaining time we have. If the team wins, we win coz we are part of it, ignore the main 12 part, it is only a selection of names cast in ink and paper, so lets all fight hard and not let any doubts about attending trainings come to mind.
Speaking of which a quote from coach comes to my mind, something like after we graduate we will all be busy with our own lives, and probably wont be seeing each other for quite a while. This is so cruelly true and to me the quote was poignant to an extent. Such is reality...
I hope all of you enjoy the remaining trainings while it last. For many, this may be our last shot at the nationals. Lets hope all of us make it good. Really enjoyed the company throughout the five years.
Just heard "a little piece of heaven" by a7x, it is nice in a creepy way. Morbid song.
Best song that describe my current disappointment. Disenchanted.
life can be a burden, but dun ever give up
