You'll never ever see this, in an international race. *sobs*

Blow the Candles Out ~



National Team Training is quite awesome! time trials are like once or twice a week, and i love em. like yesterday, i just beat clifton for one set (: but we got the same time : 1:56 and the second set i wasn't too far behind either (:
But well, when we were doing the 1kms, in the break, we were talking to coach. He's thinking of putting us in K2 or K4s to compete in the world juniors. WORLD juniors man, its like :O. awesome! and it's in moscow, probably a week or so of skipping school! The most likely, cause he keeps talking about it, is me and Joshua Lim in a K2. I hope we can make it good enough to go world juniors. If we do, Asian Canoe Championships would be no problem (:. Asian Canoe Championships in Iran! whoo! (:
but omg, when i clocked 1:56, Joshua Lim clocked 1:53 the heat before.

Now the only thing is my stupid 36 points. It's gonna be hard, and i cant afford to go back to express this year. Next year's YOG. can't have 'O' levels in the way.

But anyway, the coach asked us to take some supplements :O. woah! some stuff that the Hungarian National Team also uses (: and they are fast. hahahaha. anyways im gonna put on weight ): and i'm already 65 KG. heavier than Joseph, than alot of people that are using the non-weight gain one. ):

Hmm, I seriously think that Geng Jie should try for the national team. K2 in London (:. (I hope...)

To Gain Something, You Must Present Something Of Equal Value.
That is Equivalent Trade.


I've started to realise how true that is. No matter what, there's always a sacrifice for something.
Thats why there's ups and downs, thicks and thins, goods and bads. You get something good, definately theres gonna be something bad, could be before or after. Its just that way.

Now the confusion here is that you might be so selfless and go around doing good things for other people, but what do you get in return besides a feel-good? Not Equivalent I guess. But you see, doing things for others, gives them the good thing. Equivalent trade does not apply to one person, but the whole society, the whole earth or whatever.
Give and Take Away.

Classic example of Equivalent Trade:
Effort in, Results out
Photosynthesis.

Notice you can't make matter disappear, somehow or rather the particles will still be there, but in another form or something. You try to split an atom, it causes massive damage. So the matter would be there, just how you manipulate it. No matter what, you'd only be able to create something out of something equivalent. You can't create something out of nothing.

Now you might say, people are born into poverty, what did they do to get this consequence? Nothing. Like I said, equivalent trade doesnt apply to one person, but to the whole world. So if your ancestors or parents grandparents whatever, did something that caused the poverty, and you're stuck in a whole vicious cycle of poverty, don't blame anyone else but yourself, your fate, or your ancestors. (don't blame your parents cause all they'd do is punish you or something for disrespect).

woah.
I wrote this cause I really now believe in it.
