Inspirational quotes in notes.


Found these in the superposition notes. There were many more, but I think these were what made the most sense haha.


Courage is the refusal to quit even when you are intimidated by the impossibility.


Failure is not failure to meet your goal. Real failure is failure to reach as high as you possibly can
- Dr Robert Sculler


It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts. It's what you put into the practice.
- Eric Lindros


It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt.


To be a champion, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.
- Sugar Ray Robinson


You will be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.
- Beverly Sills


and finally,


Not all winners are fighters. but all fighters are winners.
- NJC Canoeing Team

Sometimes, I think that people are just too realistic. And that may be inhibiting their potential. Lets say someone asks if you can hit a 390(for girls), most would just laugh it off like it's some sort of a joke. They don't believe they can do it in this life. Ha. It's possible. Even for a pistoler.

Aaahhh....so inspirational. Makes me want to scale Mt Everest. Nah but that's not my dream. The one I like best is the Roosevelt one. I realised that most of the time, I'm among the "timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Quite sad. Haha. So... I shall....... Try to take over the world!!!

Well...ok fine. Short term goal is to cut out mistakes while shooting. To shoot professionally. As in, with a professional mentality. Don't be discouraged when I make mistakes and just be cool. At the same time, I want to try and study hard for the CTs... Hope it isn't too late yet. Haven't really been studying very hard for the last 3 weeks. Just started chionging my work yesterday. Hope the momentum doesn't stop. Will be needing it. Goal for CTs is to pass every subject. A bit hard but it's possible.

Go!
