苦口良药

How many times have you come across a mirror to your personality? Someone who knows you well, and without doubt whose words mean well to you? I have a couple of those friends, and by default, parents are one of them.

Dad went to HK this week, for some gem auction stuff, he haven't tell me about it. Yet his superstitious side showed up. Again he went to a fortune teller. Let's just talk about me. The fortune teller actually said I am smart (as usual) but a pity!(What is this?!) A pity I am too arrogant? Is that the correct word for 骄傲? It's an arrow through my heart.

True... I cannot deny that. Just this few days I notice myself being in the lime light for a couple of stuff. Firstly bball, showed an improvement in my performance in Malaysia and I am even more certain of my value to the team. Secondly, a couple of my results that have been pretty good which show I'm improving.

I come to realise that this nature of mine has been the one hindering me. Have you heard of "to be an effective learner, you have to start from scratch" means, to put away your knowledge so that you can earnestly learn, not assume that you know. This way I believe I can improve more. Put aside that ego of yours, cus it will lead you no where.

I used to think that I have an edge over the rest this year, because I am repeating. And because I am repeating, I now realise I have to work harder, to retain my advantage which apparently is fading off. I have to regroup. Be the softspoken guy, whom I wanted to be at the beginning if my JC life...
