Today, I was supposed to go back to my tuition centre with CCY, Jing Fu, Thomas, Ming Wei, Shiya, Cheryl, Li Ting, Vanesse, Carina and some other people. We went at three, only to find the tuition centre closed. It would only open at 5pm. I got impatient and went off. Funny how I didn't find out I received a SMS from Shiya asking me to go back to the tuition centre.
This is some wasted opportunity. Hell, if I checked my phone, I'd definitely want to return back to the tuition centre to see my friends whom I missed.
Funny how this incident could actually set me thinking. I mean, our lives are full of wasted opportunities. We were given so many opportunities to change our way of life and look what some of us did. We chucked it away, only to regret it later. I've got so many examples to give out.
Just recently, I was nominated for prefect. I turned the role down, only to regret my decision later, since I suddenly wanted to get the role. Well, too late.
Before PSLE (in fact, before Pri 4), I was told to improve on my Chinese, since it was weak. Well, I hated chinese and didn't bother to practise. And look what happened. I've only got a 253 for PSLE, and I was unable to get into NJC. A wasted opportunity indeed.
Hmm. Still thinking.
Ah. The Mathematical Olympiad. In primary 5 I didn't actually studied before the test. And look what happened! I failed. Well, too late.
Oh yes. The one that's still affecting me a lot (and it will, forever). I was given a decision from my mother to choose whether to continue on with my former CCA Track and Field after sustaining minor sprains on my leg. I quitted the CCA. And look what the hell happened to me. Ran two rounds around the track, and my chest already hurts madly. Imagine, I completed my 2.4km run in 15minutes just because of the pain, and during Track and Field I could run eight rounds round the track in less than 15 minutes. Such an extreme drop in my fitness level. But no point regretting now.
Therefore, I urge everyone (this is just some advice) not to chuck an opportunity away instead of seizing it; it could damage your future.
