Limits

Hello there, Yup. I'm on summer break now, one month left before my semester 2 starts. The past one and a half month was quite good, but not great. The past one and a half month was to reflect on what did went wrong on the first semester and how to improve myself. I had to admit that many things went wrong and I guess I wasn't that discipline. But I will do better next semester, I bet you. Anyway, I have been going to the gym quite often, not because I wanted to go, but I tagged along with my friend. Hahaha. To be honest, at first it was really hard for me to work out because I
was so lazy and stuff. Thanks to Avinash he somehow guided me. I learned to pushed my limit off my comfort zone. I reckon that, I have been in my comfort zone for too long. It really sickening to be too comfortable at times. Breaking your limits is something you have to do in order to achieve something, no doubt.
Yesterday, I watched one of the video where David Blaine talked about how he hold his breath for 17 minutes which break the world record in 2006. He had impressed me how he did this and how persistent he is. At the end of the talk he quoted that, "As a Magician, I try to show things to people that seem impossible. And I think magic whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards is pretty simple: It's practice, it's training and it's experimenting while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. And that's what magic is to me". I find it true. The next month is going to be exciting =D

Before I go, I leave you with this, My friends, be audacious with your hope. Never believe that the world can't change. Never believe that you can't change. Picture our hero, Joan of Arc, the patron saint of the dark horse -- the 16-year-old, illiterate, cross-dressing, clairvoyant farm girl leading men into battle. Listen to her adolescent voice calling out, "I am not afraid... I was born to do this." -Jon Foreman.

God bless you.
