look mom, i can fly high too.

Will you believe if I told you this? Just a couple of days ago, I participated in a competition where the results shocked me more than anything else. It felt so surreal and to be honest it felt like a movie scene that played way too fast for me to even grasp the meaning behind of it.

But there was this one moment, just a day before the competition, I felt I couldn't do it. I know I was being a coward at that very moment because part of me felt like pulling out of a battle that haven't even begin yet. You wouldn't believe what kept me going. It was a book that I read a couple of days ago, Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, where there's one specific line I believe would trigger many of us. It goes like this:

"The cowards never started and the weak died along the way - that leaves us."
