"There is only one attitude to have in basketball and that is willingness to learn and improve at all time. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Every great player has had their share of difficult times and hurdles to overcome, but what makes them different from those that fail is their determination to be better..Basketball is a team game and you can only achieve success at the highest levels through teamwork and togetherness. The team that plays individuals will always fail against the team those players together... bleh bleh.... and so on...." (Extracted from Shih Chi's blog)

Hmmm... While i was reading this, suddenly felt so much... It reminded me of the daes when i fail and tried pulling myself up together and tried again... Played as a team... Even though we had matches which we are more likely to lose, we gave our veri best shot as a team and managed to defeat the teams... Of cos there're times where we lost too... But the pleasure of playing as a team is realli unbelievable...

But given that i've stopped basketball today and reading wat she's wrote let me realised that i've done all the things that lead me to failure... That's y i gave up i believe cos the failures has totally dashed my confidence and i dun wanna put myself through all these again... Let me do some reflection:

1stly, I've focussed to much on " I, me and myself"... My performance... My chances... Etc etc...

2ndly, I've deproved... I dun play as well anymore... Haix... Get more and more demoralised... Wished time go back to my JC2 year...

3rdly, forget it lahx... I shall juz escape... Stop bball all together and hope i'd be happier... Erm... Did i??? Dun tink so...

So... That's y i'm here... I used to be a success i muz sae but now, i'm a complete failure... But life gotta go on... I'll find my success somewhere else ba... I know i dun haf teh forte to play basketball... I'm nv a sports person... Juz tt i put in extra effort, train extra hard and tk extra long time... But success is alwaz the killer of a good player ba... Cos a successful person is more likely to be unable to face failure isn't it...
