'Sup! Determination. Who doesn't know this,right? Wrong! Honestly,I think people living in fast growing countries like Singapore no nuts about determination. Well,maybe they do only to a small extent. Having to be brought up in a modern city which has everything catered to,they tend to be very complacent. I'm not saying every single one of them are,but I've got to admit that I myself am complacent sometimes. Looking back at what we've gone through,others are having it far worse than what we face. Look at the Thais. Bombing and riots are indeed stupid,but they can't be blame. They are not well educated as we are over here in Singapore. They may not have the brains,but they've got the brawns and the strong will and determination. They know how hard their lives are as compared to us. They'd do anything to survive this cruel reality. Watching videos of Thai fighters on Youtube,made me think back. All these while,athletes in countires like Singapore are complaining about how tough training are. Have they watched how people like the Thais train? I bet not! If here we say we're giving our 100%,then there I'm sure their giving their 100% X 10 = 1000% I know we have to be thankful to the easier life we have in Singapore,but we can't be complacent just like that. We've got to watch and observe others as they struggle and then contribute to make better lives for them. When it comes to sports,especially Muay Thai,we've got to learn from them. They're the best! Hardness,toughness and mentality. They've got the complete package of a champion. I salute them! I know very well,if Singapore were to have trainings like the Thais have,athletes would consider it torturous and might even quit along the way. We're too pampered. Look at the equipment we have and compare it to those found in the poorer countries. Leather punching bags that are replace once there's a small tear. Leather protective vest and head gear. Handwraps. Ah,handwraps! I remembered my Muay Thai coach telling us that in Thailand,they do not have ready-made handwraps of different colours,especially in the village area. They used regular cloth,cut out in long strips. Even that is considered a priced possesion to them! The only time they replace these cloth is when they are really torn and tattered. Attending Muay Thai training hasn't only benefitted me physically,but mentally too. As far as possible, my coach always put a little touch of his homeground into training. There'll be times where it'll be extra intensive than the regular trainings and we would consider those times as "almost dying". We always hear Muay thai coaches say this "Train hard, Fight easy". Now I know what it's like. Covering all aspect of martial arts,not just to have the ability and have the advantage over others,but also to widen our knowledge and fully understand the term 'Self-defence'. My coach once said to me,"Always have this one goal in mind,which is to learn not to hurt others but to learn to appreciate the sport. With that, competitions wouldn't end up having revenge and enemies." Though it was hard for me understand it at first,I slowly took the initiative to realise it. With determination comes success! Inuka. Smile! PS: I blogged this at Changi General Hospital,while I was waiting for my turn and while I was trying to keep myself from shivering. Yes,I'm very unwell at the moment,with 39.4 degree celcius fever to be exact. Thank God I wasn't hospitalised. MC for tomorow. :\
