Encourage…

This is nothing about what happened to me recently… Rather, it’s about something I experienced when I was a young lad…

Today, I was checking out the article that is posted on daily bread, a Christian devotional guide for those that don’t know, I read something I makes me remember a lot of stuff that happened…

The article is on “Cheering Each Other On“. It’s taking about give each other encouragement whenever possible. I still remember those days in BB when corporal punishment is allowed. Corporal punishment is not talking about getting corporals to punish you, but it’s those physical activities that you do, upon either doing something wrong, or saying something stupid… It’s suppose to be banned because there are a lot of ego people that abused it over the years.. causing a lot of complaints.

Okay.. I’m suppose to post about encouragement… I still remember those days, especially during torture camps, when we are asked to do physical activities beyond our physical means… like running for an hour with our bags, doing hundreds of push ups and so on… As most human will react when frustrated, we start to curse the guy that got us into the trouble… Mr. Bernard Chao, the OIC for my batch told us to encourage each other, and if he should hear anymore curse on the “weakest link” more punishments will befall on us…. Soon after, we find encouraging each other very meaningful. It used to be a chore because we still have to mumble words of encouragement when we are quite pissed and tired, but eventually we started to say words of encouragement each time we see anyone of us is falling out, and I’m sure it sounded pleasing to the receiving end…

How I hope that we have a batch of Boys in the BB that is united, saying pleasent words of encouragement to each other in times of need. Even action of encouragement, such as helping out in cleaning the BB room, moving the logistics are much appreciated. I suppose my mission for the next 2 years is to build a company full of selfless Boys that enjoy each other’s company and really bring out the true Christian manliness…

Right now, there are many of you that is like me.. taking exams and stuff… I would like to offer my encouragement to you, “hang in there… the exams will be over soon, study hard and let God decide what you should get for your efforts.”

BTW, the IO is bothering me right now… Very disturbing.. I hope God will make a way for me… I will blog about the incidents another time…
