Let coldness envelop your face, yet allow heat to radiate from your heart. Exude confidence. Heads up. Visualise. Remember the shared vision and mission. Work as one. Inspire by leading. Inspire by encouraging. Inspire by simply telling them that 'I have faith in you'.
Leadership. Endless.

Tofu, anyone?
Are we really becoming 'tofu' batches, that focus more on fun than discipline? A healthy balance between those 2 core aspects of a UG...is it really a never ending tipping of the balancing scale, and it will never stay horizontal?
An old woman, son in jail, daughter-in-law running away with another man, and grandson left behind in primary school...what will she do? Sucide? Run away too? No. She will get a job, no matter how ashamed, how tired, how hopeless she feels...she will perservere, for her son and grandson's sake. That is resilience. Where does she get that from? I guess her childhood and 'tumultuous' teenage years may play a huge role.
When teenagers meet a problem, what do they do? From what I see, the first thing they do is utter an expletive. But after that, they realise that running away is not an option. Facing the problem, head on, maybe results in disastrous consequences and massive screw ups, but that is the only way humans learn. Through screw ups. As an egoistic species, only mistakes can remind us of our incompetence, pushing us to strive towards something better (?).
Aura. Mannerism that can be learnt, or just natural? I think it is the same debate as nurture vs nature... Is it controlled arrogance? Fine, perhaps arrongance is an inappropriate word...controlled proudness? Heads up, a facade for others to see, is that part of what we are supposed to do once you hit a certain level of maturity? When do we break that cold mask? I do not know the answer to that yet...

alright this is retarded.
I do not have much stuff to blog about. (I forgot what I was thinking about yesterday...)
I remember vaguely it is something about elitism. English is slowly creeping back into my mind after so many years of being abandoned...
Yes, RS is leaving. 30th June. I do not know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Well, it all depends on my new relief teacher. Hopefully he/she can teach.
LMC came back after a '4 month course'. She still sucks. I wonder why our school even bothers to send a sucky teacher for a course to 'enrich' her. As Melvin said : "Maybe she is only good at planning, not good at teaching!" Possible? I guess so.
Oh yea, we have 2 china xchange students in our class. Melvin is doing an epic fail job as an ambassador, but that is expected. Luther is MUCH better. Melvin, you SUCK (as usual).
Don't think I have anything to post today. Sometimes I wonder what I can actually do to help others...seems like I'm not particuarly good at anything, except maybe procrastination (yes, I know it is BAD).
P.S. I not emo like Hui Jun. refer to his blog if you know what his blog is. If you don't, too bad.

Last post before MYE I guess...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Even though I may not believe in a higher being, I feel that this quote is pretty true. Go figure out about the meaning of this quote to yourself people. =D
