What is life about? My answer was: Life is about gaining experience from wrong decisions in the past to make better ones in the future. But to put the answer in less than 10 words: Life is about gaining experience from wrong decisions to make good ones. In summary: gaining experience.

What is the greatest failure in life? I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to that one, so I put in the most logical one i could find, which was: The greatest failure in life is not succeeding.

What is this life for? My answer: Life is about being able to say "I have lived" when it is all over.

Have you ever thought about these questions? What is life, really?

Standard definition of life:
1. The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.
2. The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.

Uh, let's not go into detail shall we. -.- *throws away dictionary*

So what is life? The answer is probably user-defined. As in - everybody's meaning of life is determined by how they live it. In fact, the way one lives his or her life determines all of his or her answers to all of life's questions.

Life on Earth is not forever. Everyone has to die. Do you know what's the feeling of death? The problem is, nobody does. Simply because nobody has lived to tell the tale.

Standard definition of death:
1. The act of dying; termination of life.
2. The state of being dead.

Intellectual? You see, even the all-mighty dictionary can't tell us the feeling of death. Nobody can. My theory? I suppose death just feels like you're going to sleep. That is, if you die peacefully. On the hospital bed, I guess you just get choked out and then you stay that way. Nobody knows the feeling of being choked to death, because nobody has lived to tell the tale.

"Tisn't life that matters! 'Tis the courage you bring to it." -- Joan Borysenko

Life to the fullest is life with a purpose. Which brings us back to our dear motivational camp.

I encountered challenge of a slightly different kind in Temasek Secondary School, but it was with great teamwork with fellow trainer Ramesh Muthusamy. I suppose having to take all the technical segments was really quite a drain.. :p thankfully, the students had learnt to have a mind of their own and eventually propelled themselves forward. Here are the photos... HEY TEMASEK SEC 4N, 4U, 4I of 2006 - let them remember forever the day you graduated from the I am Gifted So Are You program with your results... if not, I will personally make sure you have a puddle for yourself!! -copied from Stuart Tan's blog. xD Visit his webbie http://www.stuart-tan.com/. He actually posted some photos of us there. LOL! Even the pics of people looking tired and bored.

Alright, time to end. Gotta go dig up a puddle. =)
