Re-learn My Life from Basketball...

I still vividly remember...
When I was young, I played basketball like crazy.
Be it sunny or rainy evening, I would be reporting at the basketball with a bunch of my crazy friends FOR SURE. We played and played till the lamp of the basketball court shut off. Then went for the dinner. Then went home.
Almost every evening, this was the scenario.
We even took part in the JB basketball competition :)

Well, even so... I don't think I know exactly how to play basketball!
I remembered I did put in a lot of efforts in learning all the skills, techniques, body strength...
And I did it so hard...

After so many years, since I last played during my tertiary times, I finally got the chance to play the ball again.
This time... I can feel... it's totally different.
I can feel I'm much better in the last time.

Now, I looked back... I finally realized the reason why I was so lousy in basketball even though of my hardship in learning the skills, and etc.

"It's the feeling and faith. You've got to feel the ball and have the faith you are the best!"
I guess my life experience in the social university over the years really taught me a lot!
Especially last year...

I'm breathing the air of my new life now!
I'm learning to feel my feeling!!
I'm learning to have faith in doing things!!!

Improvement in basketball is great!
It makes me have more faith that I will make it in my new life!
This is important.

"It's not you are not capable of. It's whether you wanna do."
Last, I would like to share with you the secret of basketball I "discovered", enjoy!! :)
