I've come a long way so far, from BMT, OCS and now as a commissioned Naval Officer of the RSN.
I'm not going to write down all the various reflections and takeaways from each milestone, for now at least.
But what I would like to write now and to remember is the set of directions I want to take in my life from now on wards.
I want to take ownership of my own life.
From the smallest details of getting your uniform ironed to big details like conning a ship.
I come to realize that in order to take charge of other's lives and be successful in life, I need to take charge of my own life first.
I need to take charge of my own happiness, and for all the things that happen be it good or bad.
We all have to realize that we can choose to be who we are and how we feel.
In life, we couldn't directly control the things that may happen, but what we could control is how we react to it. Reacting is not a simple answer a problem. It encompass everything including your mood, your perspectives, and your future. God's ultimate way of testing us humans is through the form of reaction.
Like what the Law of Attraction says, we think our lives.
We could always choose to react positively, and things will turn out to be positive.
If I don't set the sail myself, the wind will.
And I will set it positively.
With that set of principles and direction, I will attain these new year resolutions.
This will also be the most updated new year resolution for this year.
This will also be the most updated new year resolution for this year.
Here goes:
1. Get COC by end of April
2. Save up to $20,000 through my own salaries
3. Learn as much as possible to be a good Naval Officer
4. Take optimism and ownership as my lifestyle every single day.
5. Be humble and open up to other people's opinion, hence establishing good ties with the people around
6. Get a girlfriend who's worth it.
I have to do Maj Tham, John B and my family proud to be a good Naval Officer of the RSN.
I am really grateful to their support and I will live up to their faith in me.
Throw all the unnecessary things away and set the sail.
With faith I crave the light and show the way.
If my boat were to capsize, I shall get the boat up again.
I'm made to overcome, and not to be overcame.
Persistence and optimism will bring me through.
Good luck to my new journey! :]
