Get what you mean. Well, no one can motivate you but yourself. Being thick-skinned and competitive has worked to my advantage. I wanna be better, stonger, smarter and hungrier than anyone.

There’s a difference between dreams and daydreams.
The former is something we work for.
The latter is something we just think about and forget.

Live your dreams. They will sweeten your memories when its time to look back at what you have achieved when you were younger. ^_^

autumn: thank you so much for your invaluable encouragement and reminders, i shall bear them in mind and this time i’ll be realistic in my approaches, especially when im definitely not young anymore. my youth, wasted! *sob* i won’t be too vocal about them though, coz scared of too many things. too many things. =.=”’

thanks again =)

Hello LazyAutumn,
let me share with you a story on how I set my targets and overcome my own discipline issues.

I have always wanted to do a half-marathon, but was never a regular jogger. So what I did was at the start of the year, I told lots of friends and bloggers (via my blog) that I was going to join a half-marathon at the end of the year.

With so much people knowing about my plans for a breakthrough, the lat thing I wanted was to chicken out at the end of the year and getting “see, I knew you couldn’t do it” kind of remarks.

So I planned a schedule to start jogging, bit by bit to gain stamina. And I did it!

In short, set realistic targets and NEVER keep your personal aims to yourself. Someone need to keep track of your aims so you don’t conveniently fail them.

My 2 cents.

autumn: actually when i was younger i did tell some ppl of my dreams, but i ended up not doing much about them (in fact, in my previous blogs, i often ranted quite a lot about my serious lack of discipline) =.=”’ the ppl that i told of my dreams, those who cared, they did ask me about my, uh, progress, especially after so many years, but i just told them that i gave up long time ago, thinking that telling ppl of what i wanted to achieve doesn’t really work for me coz i’m too thick-skinned to care about what ppl think. sigh.

and they didn’t really say much too. the truth is, nobody cares more about our dreams than our very own selves. you did it because deep down inside you really wanted to make it, right? also, come to think of it, i wasn’t specific and realistic of my goals either, so i think that’s one vital factor for my repeated failed attempts. and, the reason for that was because i wasn’t sure of what i wanted. i thought i was, but i wasn’t.

was going to say i’m going to try what you did, but i’m scared i’ll need to eat my words again. >.<
