memoirs

Yup, this is my second post this morning. read the first if u have not?

Yea,i just read the newpaper.

This lady, Yip Pin Xiu, who represented Singapore in the Bejing Paralympics caught my attention. Shes the first paralympic gold medalist in sg's history! I read about her attitude towards life, and most importantly, her passion. How she perserved and believed in her dream while suffering from a muscular disease. This was the glow in her. Its this very glow that can ignite the darkest of times, and give our lives a very important element known as-meaning.

How many truely understands and accepts the meaning of their presence? Let me rephrase this- who never doubted his or her own existence?
Would u believe in swimming, if u spend your entire time in a wheelchair?

Another thing about her that captured my heart is her optimisium and accepting mindset. She can joke about being unable to walk, and how injuiring her leg would do nothing to affect her performace as a sportsperson in the pool.
This may be the factor thats eluding me.. No, maybe im the one avoiding it.

I sat down after reading her article and looked ino the mirror. I see a joke. I laughed. And i woke up.

Pin Xiu, you ran faster than me to pursue your goals. Rest assured, I'll start running again. Don't look back ir i'll catch ya!

This is all too timely. Good.
