First Post of the Year!,
Monday, January 5, 2009
First of all, this being the first post of 2009, HAPPY 2009!
although im not exactly very early haha. here's a pic to go with it
thought it was pretty cute. i didn't notice the 2007, until like... now. omg. no wonder they're still young naruto ppl hahaha. ignore it but you get the message right?unlike most ppl who begin their first post of the year remnisincing about the past year or setting new year's resolution for the new year, i guess my first post will be more of a reflection kinda thing about what happened today, at tkd grading.
actually it's more of a 感触. it's about something called confidence.
i've actually have had this 感触 not too long ago while watching xingguangdadao3 on 56. The particular segment was about how a quite favoured contestant was eliminated because of a fatal mistake : forgetting the lyrics. the judges attributed it to a lack of confidence which stemmed mainly from little practice.
it's the same no matter where you go, be it singing, taking exams or doing patterns. with practice comes confidence and the lackthereof will therefore lead to unsureness, like feeling around in the dark. movements will be made with uncertainty and of course, mistakes will be made more commonly.
with practice however, one will be much more familiarised with the well-rehearsed routine such that it's more of a second nature to perform whatever the task may require. radiating with the brillance of confidence, (even if you suck at it), onlookers will think "hey, this guy/gal actually knows what he/she is doing!"
and this, was what i felt after the tkd grading. needless to say, i was not the egoistical prideful high and mighty ever-ready warrior radiating with confidence even with the lack of practice.
and then it boils down to attitude and talent. with the correct attitude, you will be in no lack of practice and therefore no lack of confidence. with talent, even with minimal practice, you'd still be confident of what you're doing.
and that, was what i saw exuding. confidence.
so i guess this new year, i'd have to up my attitude since talent isn't really something you can train.
i didn't really make a fiasco out of the thingy btw, it was just not up to what i had expected.
and so, since i wasn't exactly really running high on self-worth having swarmed with so many things, i figured i needed a jog to get me flowing with endorphins.
was glad i finished my run routine and managed to get back my 7p.u form. yay so another resolution, get the discipline to excercise and also to rid of my bad habit.
okay nice songs time.
