Persistence

-As long as we are persistent in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

-Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.

-Philosophy make head hurt. 

Persistence is actually pretty important, although it's very hard for me to admit this. I am at times a really sad quitter. However, when i want to achieve something pretty badly, I keep trying 'till I succeed.
A long time ago, I used to believe people who thought persistence lets you achieve crazy things, were crazy retards themselves. But now.............I am a bloody hypocrite just like them. Just joking.

Persistence works a lot of the time. My first memory of it working for me was when I was in grade 1. This kid in my class could whistle and I thought he was the biggest baddass ever, and I wanted to be just like him. So I practised, and practised and practised again. After about a week I finally mastered it. If I knew about "yieuoay' back then, I would most certainly have "yieuoayed". 


The next time it worked for me was when I was trying to learn how to click(with my fingers). It took me two minutes, but hey, that's about as much as an ordinary person's persistence lasts these days.


In year four, I wanted to be able to click with my tongue. Not that tiny little click that everyone can do, that really frigging loud one that people like Yin-Han Kong can do. This trick actually took a while for me to be able to accomplish... maybe a month or so? I kept trying, but kept ending up with pathetic little clicks... however I finally did it (accidentally) while I was drinking soup. Soup is awesome.

That's right bitches. Chinese food.

Oh and in Year 7 I learned how to pen spin!!! It was by far one of the most exciting experiences in my life (cos I'm Asian and all I do is study 24/7). First I learned how to do the "charge": the basic spin where the pen continuously twirls between two fingers, and next I masteredddd the thumb spin. I was really proud of myself.


Very recently I have been practising the moon-walk. (Please don't bag me or think I'm a try-hard... it's a really cool move, you've gotta admit that.) I am also quite a fan of Michael Jackson, and it was him that inspired me to try it. I think I've nearly got it!!!

He is not gay you arsehole...

Finally, and most recently, I had to hand in an essay on Animal Farm by Wednesday (this week), and I hadn't even started it. So tonight I basically decided to switch my PC on, skip karate, and work my butt off for the rest of the night. I have nearly finished and I believe it's a solid essay.

So that's persistence for you. It is great. In fact, it's better than YOU! (damn you to hell Michael...lol jokes)

YIEUOAY~!
