Sports, at last..

About a year ago, i was wondering why is that that I'm not as good as any other guys when compared in sports activities.. what does these guys have that give them access to almost to any type of sports available on earth.. even if they are not used to it before. While this thinking goes on and on, i committing myself to be good in playing carom as it is the most available games in my workplace.. after a while I'm getting good at it.. i even developing some personal shooting techniques that some of my colleague's reckon it as my "blagak" shot. After a while i become a good player from nothing! for those who not used to plating this game "kedai kopi" style, i tell you that it is the most painful place to start, we are yelling, cursing, de-motivating and bragging to each other. For those with weak heart, a small fight is irresistible.. and it least likely for those weak hearted fellas to comeback to the battleground ( i make it sound good isn't it.. ha ha).

3 days ago my colleage and i was introduce to a game called "pentanque" and we have to get ready for a tournament in 2 days time! so I've got the chance to test my old theory that i cant be good in sport like other guys did, because those sport-friendly guys and i is now on par. For two days we do intensive training in this very fun game. throwing these RM 650 stainless steel balls to a small balls they call jack to get as close to it as possible, and believe me its not as easy as it sound. each of us only got three balls and we need to risk it sometimes to clear the opponent's balls. On the tournament dayw e manage to go to second round before the school boys (they represent the school in this game) defeat us.. very thin winning that is.. i can see they sweating like crazy when we catch up with them so quickly. Now, what i found was.. these sport guys is no better than me is term of understanding and playing the game. Sometimes i notice that i can make better shot then them.. so what is making them better?

its our state.. sometimes we take outside information, yelling, cursing, DE-motivating and bragging too personally that we make it real for us. Its the psychology inside us. its our physiology that affect us. when we operate in weak physiology then we'll be as good as weak! its what we are focusing on that 's matter.. are we focusing on the game, or the cursing? its our internal voice... its all because of us.. and yet we continue to blame the environment....

Unleash the power within!

  1. do not waste time trying to change something that we have no control over. change the one thing that we definitely have control over......US.

    so change ourselves and the rest will fall into place
