"So who is your greatest opponent in this competition?"

and every so often, we'll hear the standard reply,
"well, i think it's myself."

i always thought that as hypocritical, yet never realising what it actually means. though i've tried to comprehend what it means, i still dun get it, till today, when i was watching tv just now.

there was this guy who gave the standard answer and i was thinking, yeah right, xu wei hahaha but the host added on to what he said and i finally sort of figured out what it means by my greatest opponent is myself.

looking at my results, i thought it's kind of true. sometimes there many questions in exams which i know how to do but yet during exams conditions, i'll sort of get mental block and wont be able to provide the soln to the answer. yet when i return home, i can give the perfect answer to the question which i couldnt answer previously during exams. this is due to the kind of stress level that i'm faced with perhaps. though i dun think i was feeling stressed or whatsoever, but think i'm stressed unknowingly. stress is my greatest obstacle, laziness is too, not being focused when studying is also a great obstacle and all these obstacles exist because i existed! hahaha i'm the cause of all these obstacles. i'm lyk my own obstacle to myself lah. no one can cause me to do badly unless i allow myself to be. hmmm so yeah i think i'm the greatest destroyer of myself too hahahh whatever i'll just work harder and learnt to be more focused and practise more i think. i'm not extremely intelligent nor fast so it's just right that i work harder than others. jia you yihui!
