Camaraderie; Faith

Past week, I was busy working hard at two areas, work per se and a captain's ball match at my workplace. I was never a sports person when I was in my academic years. After two years of playing captain's ball in my organisation, I began to regret not being involved in sports when I was way way younger.

Thank God though, He allowed me to enjoy the bond and the experience of teaming up to play competitively with my fellow colleagues. This year, I experienced the sweetness of victory, and the bitterness of loss. The team was definitely closer after the game. It is little wonder sports brings people together. After work we trained together, during lunch hours, we trained together. It all brought our relationship with one another to another level. It is something that I treasure.

Through the entire competition, I realized one thing. Skill isn't the MOST important, camaraderie with your team mates is of greater importance. It's just like how it is emphasised that it is better to have a heart that is humble to learn, than to have knowledge and arrogance. The winning team this year had both - the ultimate combination. It's a valuable lesson brought smack right in front of me.

Another thought that came to me all this while also - how strictly do I want to adhere to the rules? Am I able to stomach the consequences of not sticking to the rules? This applies to all of my life.

Faith that comes beyond words, through actions and irregardless of emotions. Idealistic. Do I have to chase after ideals? Do I need to chase after ideals? Do i want, to chase after ideals?
