An Example to all....
Hey everyone!!! Finally I am back!!!! Will talk about the Choir camp in the next entry. For now i would wanna mention about a particular person whom i think can be an example for all in AOM.
This particular person happens to be my secondary 4 classmate Steven Yap. Met him yesterday during River Valley High 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner. He owns a web design company but his story, which I am going to tell, will serve as an insipration for all of ya out there.
Before he was doing his web design company, he was the owner of 2 Roti Boy franchiees. As you all know, because of all the other competitions from Mama Roti, Papa Roti, Baby Roti and all the other whatever Rotis, his franchiees din do that well. In the end, he was forced to end the business. His troubles didnt end there. He lost a total of 100K.
Any debt amount like that could have destroyed anyone's morale and confidence. But like a real fighter he is, he picked himself up and started building his web design company. Like what they say in the English Premier League, this is what you called as bouncebackability. And yes, it's a word recognised in Oxford dictionary. Good job, Steven!!
I am really inspired by his story because at my age, this amount of loss is certainly a very big blow. But this is the type of fighting spirit I want everyone in Team AOM to have. May we meet all obstacles with courage. Aja Aja Team AOM!!!
I also wanna wish Steven the best in his future endeavours. Good Luck!!
