walking back the memory path...
the last time that i participated in marathon was 4 years ago & it's only 10km!
Time flies ~ till we are unable to capture it.
Today, I'm taking the challenge on myself again - 30km marathon
Every person is given a chance to complete it and there is only one destination for this long run. What's make the difference among people??
the speed - how long do you take to reach the destination?
the persistence & consistent - are you determine to keep yourself running throughout the journey?
I'm actually the last who start the running as me & boyee arrive late. At the beginning, all runners are energetic and excited :)
1km -->> 2km -->> 3km -- >> 4km -->> 5km, some of them started to slow down, some are just stop... those are ahead still keep going!! Yet, a lot people give up at 15km.
When it comes to 21km, I stop myself at that point of time... I guess I reached my own limit already. Once I stopped, I couldn't continue to run any more as my legs are about numb and out of order. No choice, I'm just continue walking. The more I walk, I felt the pain, and it makes my mind goes out of track that telling me to stop and give up which you shouldn't goes beyond your limit. At the end, my kiasu-ness conquer all this and I keep walking 1km by 1km. *I thought of my mdrt is waiting me at the destination, that's why I must complete the run* This is the only motivation that push me towards the end. Along the way, the painfulness, the hardness, those negative thinking will just trying to stop you from moving forward. At the last 5km, I met her, the person that accompany me and we encourage each other to keep moving.
At last 1km, we're offered to cheat by getting the short cut yet we refused to take it. We said we must complete 30km instead of 29km.
AND We DID IT!!
A lot of people cheer and clap for us when we running towards the finishing line. The satisfaction is really indescribable in words.
BACK to Working Life
When I started my job in Insurance line, a bunch of people are joining together. Everyone started with their passion heart and excited. There's always comes to the point that some might leaving half way, and when you still keep moving, you'll be able to meet people which are ahead of you. In these 2 years, I saw some people around already give up and some is still continue chasing their dream.
Nothing is impossible, the destination is there. It is just the matter of time in which how fast we want to get it. And success is belong to those who consistently running and never give up. Everyone is given a chance and how we gonna utilize it, it's up to us. Sometimes, we tend to depress and frustrated when there are failures or rejection. But, we'll definitely meet someone that would support each other and walk together towards success. And this is how we grow and become stronger!
