"challenge each limitations you perceive with the determination and awareness that this is your personal opportunity to prove the greatness of this Buddhism. you can only prove the power by winning over adversity time and time again. each problem emerges to show us what we must win over or no longer swayed negatively by, in order to achieve that which we are praying for. the fabulous thing is that by squarely facing the problem with Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, we achieve more than the benefits. we become a better person than we were before the obstacles appeared." - Daisaku Ikeda

i love this encouragement from sensei alot. and i think that it is the very one that i need at this moment. although it mentions some stuff about Buddhism inside, i think it is beneficial and applicable to all.

many things happened over this few weeks
happy n sad
both

but what is important is that we learn something from it
we learn from our mistakes
we then improve ourselves from there.

so based on the above encouragement, i would persevere on and complete the last lap of the race with glory(:

*ps: i wont be blogging as often as before due to the limited time that i have but do keep me tagboard alive k(:

The Daishonin states,

"You must raise your voice all the more and admonish [those who slander]."*
Our youth division's spirit is 'to refute the erroneous and reveal the
true'.

Let's speak out (for the sake of justice and truth) with the greatest of
conviction.

i think that when we want to do something, we should weigh out the consequences first. and also, we should look at the big picture before taking any action.

yes. wanting to help others is good and helping people who are accused for nth is good. but if it doesn't benefit the person and instead cause more trouble for her, then why should we do it?

maybe taking yourself out of the picture and calm urself dwn before doing anything might be a good thing after all. when one is agitated, you cant make a right choice and think properly.

yes. i might be scared but the consequences is something that i m worried about too.

people whom i m most irritated by: backstabbers

This semester is going to be a challenge for me.
Mentally and physically
After last Saturday,
I guess
I am mentally prepared and ready for it.
Even if I am not, I should be.

Not much time left.
With everything piling up until now,
With datelines that I have to meet desperately
With the low capability I have
With the low efficiency that I have
I m work doubly hard in order to do well for this year

I must work doubly hard
As this year
Is not a year which I can just scrap through
It is a year which hold significance to me
And importance to my future

It all depends on this year.

I know I can do it
I know I must do it.
I know I do not have a choice but to do it

With people around me who understands me
With friends around who would be there to tell me my problems
With teachers around who are willing to help me at anytime of the day
With friends around who would stand by me and work hand in hand

I know I have to do it
i cannot disappoint myself
I cannot disappoint them
I really cannot afford to...

Pu En, jiayous!

when i received leonard's sms just now, i suddenly felt so touched and loved. although it is just a message, it really warms my heart up. and it always does when i receive messages from people like siyi n leonard n xueting((:

despite not meeting up and chatting for ages,
receiving their messages with encouragements that warms ur heart up,
that is enough.

knowing that they will always eb there for me,
that is enough.

knowing that whenever i face problems, i have someone to turn to,
that is enough.

but honestly,
these two chaps
they are people who are worth our admiration and respect.

siyi. a girl currently 18 (i think), who almost got in trouble with the police, is now studying in temasek poly. she is someone who has used faith to voercome all her problems and showed that what the mystic law can do.

leonard. a guy who is married with a cute little baby boy(i think). he is now the vp of cgs, ymd chief of ssa and a very loving husband. he has a veyr understanding wife who is not prcatising faith (i think). he manages his time well and he is soemone who seems strict but is actually hilarious.

both of them give encouragements which would really empower u esp during times of difficulties and seeing them would always make u feel happy((:
