Things that i've learnt from arts club/ 9:05 PM Warning: this post is not meant to be politically correct. I'm simply shooting off whats in my head. Went for Arts Club Elections QnA yesterday. Looking at the new elects now after away from Art Club for one year plus and into the working world for 3 month plus, I asked myself what are my real takeaways in my 2-3 years in the organisation. just to list a few: - don't look back in anger, focus on "now". this is by far the most important takeaway i gain from my arts club experience. there's no point in being angry with the past, bear grudges etc. it doesnt help in personal development nor the club, and it makes u give out bad vibes. a person who keeps looking back can't walk straight. to quote yoda: "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." - open-heartedness. somehow rather, after being through the shits in arts club, I realise that I'm less affected by the bad things happening on me. this open-heartedness will eventually train you to look at the bigger picture instead of personal gains/ losses. and now i totally understand what it means by "don't compare" esp since i started working. seriously, you cant bring everything down with you when you die. so why be so gei gao? - looking forward. after being through the rerunning and stepping down syndrome, I realised that I have to move on to a new com, new life, new outlook on things. eventually, this change mentality will go into me. and somehow rather I became more receptive, and more looking forward to change, which relates back to pt one and two. thus i don't really understand why rerunners want to run for the same position. Isnt that similar to staying in comfort zone when rerunning means stepping out of it? - belief. either you have it, or you don't. you cant force it, you cant learn it, and you can never wayang it by saying "I believe blah blah blah". it comes to you suddenly. it is something like confidence. it is something like religion. it is something that you know you is there but cant describe it out. it is something that you want to create and know that it can be created. it is something that others will think that it is not feasible but you know you can and you put your heart and soul to it no matter what. it is something that no matter how cham you think your life is, you suck it up and go forward in life (remember, don't compare). i reran because of a certain belief. and this belief had helped me through a few other major obstacles in my life so far. I really hope all candidates can find it in their MC term. Seriously, to all out there, if you don't have a belief which you want to realise, don't rerun, else you'll suffer big time. - learn about the other side of you. simple enough. you learn about your dark side,your good side, your weaknesses, your strengths. and it really depends on how you want to explore it further. |
