I was struggling inside me... whether should I take the module [Introduction to World Religion]. The reason why I want to take that module is because I want to be like sensei, to become a well-read person. I want to deepen my understanding of other religion =) However, people around me discouraged me in taking up that module because it is a super duper tough module... and it is a 'very hard to score' module. faints. (*_*)

I seek guidance from Siew Kuang.. And I have approached the right person. ('-^)

SK: in your heart, do you want to take it? It is the heart that matter most.
Then she shared on what her lecturer had told her...
It's not a matter of how much others know more than you
if you already know everything before you take this module
How much and what can the lecturer value add to you
What value will you create from taking this module
Say others know 80%, you know only 20%
At the end you go away with 80% while others go away with 20%
You see the difference in value
that's why we learn...

SK: Grades are important but I was not afraid, I cared more about what and how much value I create from doing that module. When we choose not to do something, let it not be because we fear we will fail in doing it, but because it is of no value to us or anyone else. You have always strike me as a very determined person. Have courage. The decision lies with you still. To take or not, find a good reason and stick to it, whatever others say. It's our that heart matters. If sensei faces a situation like yours, what would he do?

She shared the following sensei guidance with me =)

"The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next. "

"If you summon your courage to challenge something, you'll never be left with regret. How sad it is to spend your life wishing, "If only I'd had a little more courage." Whatever the outcome may be, the important thing is to step forward on the path that you believe is right."



She's right. I have to grapple with the devilish forces, which is fanning fear in me...
Sharon! you have to be more brave...
you have to be more adventurous. haaa!
