The home stretch.
it's call time and i'm already all prepared. Just finishing up the last few minutes of my internet. time to go home.
Anyway while i was in the shower, i've been thinking, perhaps love is like a race, and the couple are team members. Winning any race depend not just on each person's drive to win, but the chemistry and individual techniques as well.
I remembered something back my IVP canoeing days. No doubt me and jack (who was so called my "brother" back in poly, haha...) had the same will and drive to win, in fact, to top it off we were the very best that NP has to offer, but we could never race together as a team on the same boat.
Our techniques are different, i can't compensate for him nor could he compensate for me because either way it would serverly affect our individual abilities. We won't be able to row as well as we are on our own. Jack is all about speed and reps, while i'm all about power. On our own we are equally match, but there is no way to put 2 different motors to work in tandem.
Anyway the reason why the long forgotten topic of canoeing suddenly appeared was because i was watching rowing on ESPN on the wee hours of the morning here in Joburg. Haha... Brought back some happy memories, the rush of competition and the trill of winning. The speed, the rushing waters, salty air, sweat and pain all seem so familiar.
Therefore perhaps love is not just about trying your best effort and u will win, it's a team effort that not just require 2 different people to work together but also how well they can compliment each other. It's a long race and arduous race, select your team member wisely.
But like all things in life, we learn from failure.
We fail so we can learn. Sometimes there is no way to learn from other's experience, we are all different thus variables are different. Different variable means similarity does not apply.
Ok times up, time to go home.
Can't wait to be home. Hiak Hiak...
