300 and The Value of saying No

It has been an unforgettable weekend. I reckon it will be etched in my memory for years to come. But I have come through it learning a really important lesson in life. Part of the lesson was learnt watching the movie 300 with Mengtze and Fiona.

There was this particular scene in 300 which shows how the young Spartans were taught to fight. They mentioned that you first fight with your head, then with your heart. I think that this statement is absolutely spot on, regardless of the context you are putting it in. I think there a lot of times in life you need to think it through before plunging in. But once you have decided it's workable, you wil have to dedicate your heart and soul into it.

The incident that happened on that fateful Friday taught me the value of saying No. I could have refused to take up the offer. Maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way it is now. But now, some things will be irreversible. I have always been too soft in this respect and continue to acede to others' requests. I have learnt it the hard way. This lesson will truly stay in my living memory.

I wanna thank Steven, Yee Le and Lawrence for helping out on Friday. You 3 are busy men and I appreciate it. Especially Steven. Thank you so much for lending the car and you had to take the cab to the meeting. It's through adversities like these that you find your true friends. Wanna apologize to Fiona for missing her birthday party. I have tried my best.

Maybe it was meant to happen. I believe so. The Secret taught me so as well. Then I shall wake up. I shall move on. I shall not be affected. I shall stay happy. If it's meant to be, then nothing can stop it.
