Think globally, act locally!

The theme for students' division 23rd anniversary realli hits me..
It portrays the expectation n mission of the students' division.. To grow to be "global citizens"..
I really felt it was a good way of celebrating this anniversary with the panel sharing..

It kind of let me reflect upon a lot of things.. getting a new perspectives on things..

Sometimes, it's not easy for us to believe that we possess the potential to create the change that we want..

I still remember Dr Carter saying: "You're the world. Don't talk about the world as if it's outside you. Be the change that you want!"

This is also in line with Daisaku Ikeda's, my mentor in life, vision on human revolution..
"A change in a single individual's life can change the society and eventually the world."
World peace sounds like a far-away concept.. but if we continue to view it as if it's outside us, we can nv achieve it!!

I think i've realised aft e sd ann.. is that.. we need to know what is going around in the world.. we need to look at the bigger picture instead of being occupied in our own world.. hence, studying comes into the picture.. reading gives rise to understanding..

I feel that we often do things without thinking much about the meaning behind doing it..

Like studying..

In singapore, we're so fortunate that education is v much available n in high quality for us.. yet, many a times, we fail to see what is the true purpose of education.. it might nt be e most perfect system we can have i might say.. but being able to received education.. esp tertiary education is a privilege that nt everyone can get..

I've learned frm ikeda sensei.. that education is for the purpose to helping those who cannot afford education.. I'd always ask myself.. "For what purpose, do i study?".. n it realli helps to refresh my determination to realli get the best out of the education i'm receiving..

Eventful year..

Time realli flies.. esp wen u r packed wif a lot of things to do..

Arrhhh.. Super duper busy gal.. Plus muz squeeze time to study n compose songs..

It's rather tiring at times.. but sometimes, i keep asking myself.. why do i need to get so busy?
It's nonetheless to challenge n polish myself.. Youth is the time for growth and development..
I believe that when opportunities are presented to you, you shld take it up..
Cos u nv know when there'll be such opportunities coming again..

Sometimes, i realli hope that life stays at this age.. Though busy, i'm kind of enjoying myself too..
There're so many changes.. time when u've to let go n go outside ur comfort zone..
