i had this student who was not willing to run cos she was worried that people would say she's fat and laughed at her.

I told her " don't have to worry about what others say. believe in yourself. because you are who you are. don't have to always be living in a world where you are trying to live up to other ppl's expectations"

today she ran. and i told her "im so glad that you decided to run." she said "yah. now i can laugh back at those who laughed at me. at least i can tell them that i can run faster than them." she smiled confidently.

i realised that i can tell others all these but not to myself.
i always envy ppl who can run fast.. who can play music well.. who can communicate so well.. who are so full of energy.. who are so creative..

i wonder whats my strength. searching for it.....
