'See and you will believe, know and you will achieve '

Thus reads the title of a post by a senior of mine whom I do not personally know (he's in Zhi En's year I believe). Feng Ze directed me to his blog and I thought that it was a great post. I daresay that all of us who were under Sir ( a.k.a Mr. See Teck Hock, the only teacher whom we all universally address 'Sir' outside of class out of pure respect) in ACS(I) canoeing would agree that he is a coach unlike many. Personally, I deem it a privillege to have trained under him because as I've said before in my earlier posts, it is his training that has made me to be who I am today.

He taught us how to fight. He taught us what determination and discipline was all about. He taught us to succeed despite with a spirit of humility.

There's so much more that I wish to write, but time is once more closing in on me. I'm leaving for an outfield exercise that will be our first in armour and supposedly the worst. Plus, the weather these days has been rather wet. Oh well, I can only pray that the weather will be kind to us while we're out there.

In the words of my senior, 'Mr See truly believed in first cultivating character to enable a person to succeed in sports and eventually become a winner later in life. The reason why I am here today is because of everything he taught'. Hear, hear. For those interested, here's the address : http://merke.blogspot.com/2007/07/see-and-you-will-believe.html
