for the team
Yesterday was cross country nationals and VJ guys got 3rd and girls got 1st overall. Notably the girls got most of the top nine positions (2,3,5,9 i think) maybe more and even more notably, the national second is a hockey girl, pretty impressive, huh.
As for the guys team, D'cruz got first and farrel third while zhuomin and ronghua got over 20 while nigel and jonathan were i dono where. I have no clue what happened to the 1, 3, 4, 8, 9 strategy they were preparing but i do not believe it was any of their faults, after all life is unpredictable and there are always forces working that we can never comprehend or understand.
A one day race where your whole life's training comes into play, a run for 15, 16 minutes. In such a sport i can imagine how regrets and mistakes can return again and again to haunt you, to rip at your soul for what you deem to have been in your grasp. But the future is never in your grasp and there always remains an opaque veil in front of you, denying you knowledge of things to happen up till the very last moment, when the hammer strikes without warning. The steeds of time will run on regardless of events and you can never reign them in, leaving you with your mistakes, your false assumptions, your misplaced faiths and all your regrets and sorrows.
So why stare on in dismay at clouds from galloping hooves, smothering you in confusion and helplessness, blinding you from those who care with the memories of a bitter past? Why chase the steeds that run forever faster than you, which can never be tamed? Look, but not in dismay but to learn and remember, chase but not to change history but to better make use of the future. Time is of the essence and our fragile lives balancing on the thread of existence is only meaningful when we look back from end of the line and can tell ourselves with satisfaction "that was well done".
The past is past and time will heal wounds, the pain of regret is unnecessary, the sorrows of the past need not be relived. We should choose to remember the smiles, reminisce about the joy, feel again the love and concern we had felt.
Do not look back with eyes of hollow gems, do not let your blood run dry and your heart beat weaker. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and what doesnt defeat you makes you smarter. Experience and enrich yourself for time is on your side in this.
live like tomorrow means everything
