When you look at this picture, what do you see? I wanted to look for an impressive photo of MJ dunking or whatnot, but then, I came across this picture.

When I see this photo of him, the first thing I see is passion. Sure, its a little dark, and it doesn't help that Jordan's black, but I feel the passion. It's like a blazing fire, a rocket propelling him on. Then, I see the focus, the concentration. I see the determination- "I'm taking this shot, and I'm going to make it count. This shot is going in."

A lot of our success is determined by our mentality. To Zhiying and the rest of BBGT: Find back the passion you had for basketball. The original reason that makes you burn, that makes you hot. The original reason that makes your heart race and your hands tingle when you think of touching the ball. Let's rediscover that love for basketball. Yes, there are expectations to be fulfilled when you girls go out on court to play. Yes, you don't want to disappoint jiaolian and the team. But most importantly, you don't want to disappoint yourself. But maybe if we try and play the game without the pressure of all the expectations to be met, play it for the sheer love and passion, the sheer desire for the ball... Maybe we can get back the thing that makes us tick. :)

189 days to A Levels. Many, many tests coming up. We've already got our timetables for Mid-years! This is really it. Crunch-time. This is what my twelve years or so of education is going to culminate into. And I am going to come back next year and cry for happiness.
