Think

I was browsing through my secondary notes the other day (no! not because i am very free, it's because i am really bored urm.. actually it's a little of both)and I came across an interesting handout. It was a handout given by my dear principal Mr. Tan Teck Hock during one of his numurous motivational talk. I would like to share this short little passage. :)

FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
From There's a Hole in My Sidewalk

by Portia Nelson

I

I walk down the street.

There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost ... I am helpless.

It isn't my fault

It takes forever to find a way out.

II

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend i don't see it.

I fall in again.

I can't believe I am in the same place.

But, it isn't my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

III

I walk down the same street.

There's a big hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I still fall in. It's habit.

My eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It's my fault. I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same street.

There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street
