caught up with some friends over the internet and phone over the past few days. royston's getting som. qibo topped and got soh. pecklim's getting som at least i think. this kinda provoked some thoughts.
i look back at my life and realised that i have been number 2 to others all these while.
student council chairman: no. 2 to students' union president. 4As: no. 2 to those with S papers. venture cord & CCA: no. 2 to President's Scout Award. bmt: no. 2 to platoon best (even if i got platoon best, that'll be no. 2 to the company best). afst: just a few points away from no. 1 (4th on the standings). air force pro term: best trainee, no. 2 to SOH.
but if you choose to look from another angle, i have also been above the rest of the pack all these while.
i don't know which is the safer bet - to be satisfied with what i have, or to be unsatisfied all day long and force myself, albeit somewhat unwillingly, to achieve more.
