Take the Challenge or not?? WHY not??

As most Malaysians know, McD is now giving away a BIG treat of FREE BIG MAC!!! In order to get a FREE BIG MAC, all you need to do is to read the following phrase in 4 SECONDS!!

Two all-beef patties,
Special sauce, lettuce,
cheese, pickles, onions
on a sesame seed bun.

After the tournament on last Saturday, my friends had decided to take this challenge.. The first thing that crossed my mind was, "how could that be possible?? ONLY 4 seconds are given!!".. Without trying, i told myself that, "No way, you're not going to make it".. Looking at my friends who are practicing & trying, they DID it in just 2 seconds plus!! From that moment I was thinking that, "Alright, why not you give a try too.. No harm trying right?".. I then borrowed the small coupon from them and started practicing, not too bad, i did it in 3 seconds plus.. Before reaching the nearest McD outlet, we all keep on practicing non-stop.. Oh well, we all are ACTUALLY taking this challenge so SERIOUSLY than our studies.. =P And yup, we all that have tried did managed to get a FREE BIG MAC in just 2-3 seconds.. BRAVO girls!! ^_^

All this while, i've been telling myself that my stamina is TOO BAD.. I need to improve.. YES i do.. But how?? It's either swim or run.. Yesterday night i decided to swim in my uni as that could probably be my last time to swim before going home.. Before i started swimming, i told myself, "you MUST at least swim for 5 laps, MUST!!".. Everytime i swim across from one end to another, i need to rest for a bit and take a breath.. What to do, my stamina is REAL BAD.. Sigh.. But i'm very glad that i DID managed to FORCE myself to swim for 5 laps(100m??).. ~~so happy~~ Anyway, i don't think this is good enough.. I do hope that i can do better next time; 10 laps maybe?? Hopefully i can.. :)

For those who know me very well, they'd know that i'm actually very LOW in confidence.. Although i do look "tough" physically, but mentally, i'm VERY WEAK.. I'd get nervous or give up easily, and that's my biggest failure during tournaments.. Sigh.. Oh YES, i do need improvement on this.. And what i need to do is to challenge myself more; set a target and force myself to accomplish that.. To be frank, it does help as i believe that:

Challenge builds courage,
And courage builds confidence,
With confidence we bring success.

For those who are just as LOW confidence as me, DO NOT give up.. Take the challenge, take the risk, believe in yourself and be proud of what you are capable of.. Trust me, a little bit of improvement could brings you a better life for tomorrow.. ^.^
