Hi guys! I have been quite busy to update on blogs nowadays. Haha.
Life rocks as usual and I've been thinking a lot recently.

Here are some of my thoughts
(and it was in the middle of my Econs lect)
Why are people so afraid of failures?
I mean to think about it
we have about 70 years of our lives
so what if we fail?
70 years of our lives
there sure be events happening
and more than often
we actually have more than enough time to fail and try again

Take failing A's for eg
we can just take it for another year right?

The reason we are afraid of failures is because
most people have this mentality once they fail
(says the As for eg)
then they will just keep on failing in lives.
(fail in As-->fail in career-->fail in finding gd spouse-->fail in family-->fail in life)

But, I am not not afraid of failing
I am afraid of not being faithful. 
Cuz sometimes, I know there will be failures
despite trying all your best, with all your heart and soul
yet man can still fail.
Like for instance A's exams again
We can do all things on the earth(TYS,extra consultations w teachers,tuitions and more TYS and TYS) just to do well for A's
yet we might not do well for A's.
(btw, my fear of failures was referred to the fear of failures despite hard work because if failure without hardwork,then it is no one's fault except yours.)

But, I know once you faithful to the smallest things in life
you will be successful.
most of the time man keep failing not because they failed one major exams
but because they failed to be faithful
(for eg the faithfulness to cont believing you can do well in As the next time you tried it and the faithfulness to keep trying your TYS and TYS and more TYS.)

Talking about failures & success.
I was thinking randomly it would be so scary if I got kicked out of University
I would just lose my whole purpose/meaning in life.
But Pastor brought up a very good point.
Man always gets confused with purpose in life and success.

For e.g, my purpose in life is to be a doctor and and go to Third World C'try and heal all the sick and poor
so does it mean one day i retire as a doctor, i have lost my purpose in life?

So many people are just tired of this Singaporean rat race
but the irony is that they never want to stop and find their purpose.

Success, Failure, Purpose
They just keep swimming in my head.

It is quite freaky to think
I probably will live up till say 2050?
20 years of my lives are nearly gone
have i achieved anything worthy?
at least I know I have found it
To glorify the One who gave all for me.
