The Importance Of Luck ??

Hmm, i can't sleep yesterday. I've got many thoughts inside my mind that i just couldn't close my eyes at all, lol.

2008, almost everyone would think that it's just an ordinary year. But for me, it's not. It has a significant meaning for me. 2008 is the year that i need to choose my career wisely. It's a very hard decision to make actually because it may affected your career either in a good way or even in a bad way. Well, we never know. Initially i wanted to go to UTAR or TARC because these two save a lot of money. But my mother kept telling me that this 2 colleges are not good etc etc and they don't wanna let me go there study zzz. Even the Taylors' counsellors also told me the same thing. They say that these two college's sijil is not good, " 不吃香 ". Hmm, i was so speechless that time. Maybe they were probably right but they cannot say like this what. Every college has their PROs and CONs. So, under my father's advice, i choose AUP at Inti college. I don't know whether this course is good for me or not, but one thing i pretty sure is that i can improve my english better if i choose AUP because i can go overseas. If i study in UTAR or TARC, i don't think i can improve my english, zzz. I'm lucky enough to have this chance to study AUP, so i should take this chance, i guess.

I really missing my old school days now. it's been a lot of ups and downs. During my primary school days, i was doing so well in my academic that i've got a lot of trophies. But i failed miserably in UPSR, the ultimate examination for primary school students. I've got only 6A's, zzz. My tuition teacher can't even believe my results and he was so speechless when i told him my results in the phone ( he called me that time ). This clearly shows that : i have no luck !!! I couldn't do anything that time. I can only apologize to him haiz. I really tried my best for the exam already but somehow i did not have any luck.

When i moved to the secondary school, it's completely upside down. I was doing so bad ( not that bad la ) in academic and doing so well in sports. During form 3 a.k.a 2005, i think that was my best year ever, i broke my school's 100m record and also scored 8A's in my PMR which i still couldn't believe until now. I would say 60% Luck and 40% Hardworking. This clearly shows that : i have luck !!! Sometimes i would prefer to concentrate on studies rather than sports, because my former school always gave us plastic prizes even though it's a first prize, it was just frustrating.

Another example was my NS. I was so " lucky " to be selected to NS even though i don't want to go. lol. I managed to learn something there.

Sometimes hardworking is not enough for you to be successful, you need luck and potential too. For example, even though John McCain has campaigned so much, he still ended up as the loser and watch Barack Obama elected as the USA's first black president. This shows that sometimes you need luck to be successful. Another example is the current Manchester United. They played so well, but they just couldn't score a goal and missed a lot of chances in front of goal. Frankly, it can cost them dearly in the title race as they have no luck to score even though they played well. In a football match, Goals are the most important element, a team can't win a match if they doesn't score goals. Good performaces are not enough to win sometimes if a team couldn't turn their chances into a goal. I think many of you are surely remember the EPL match between Liverpool and Man Utd on 2005 at Anfield. Liverpool outplayed Man Utd for the entire match but some how they missed so many chances and unlucky to have a goal ruled out for offside. Besides, Man Utd's Paul Scholes was sent off for a fail attempt to punch Xabi Alonso on the face.
But, something unbelievable happened in the last minute of injury time. C Ronaldo managed to win a rare free kick at the edge of the Liverpool's penalty area. His free kick was saved but John O'Shea scored the rebound, Liverpool 0 - Man Utd 1 !!! Liverpool fans and Rafa Benitez were simply speechless that time, lol. This shows that even though a team couldn't play well , but as long as the team score more goals than their opponent, they will be declared as the winner no matter how BAD their performances were.

Wish i have more luck in my future, i seriously need it so much, lol.

Even though luck is important, but sometimes people deserves more... people deserves to have their hardworkingness rewarded. Well, it's very complicated to say because we would never even know what will happen to us in the future, haiz.
