WE LOSE THE BATTLE BUT GAIN A WHOLE LOT MORE....

      Last week, on 25th of March 2012, I participated and represented my scholl in a debate competition. I was the 1st speaker so the job was a little bit harder than others since I have to recap the whole thing at the end of the competition. To make matters more complicated, we, my friends and I are in the opposing team regarding the motion that "Hard work is more important than talent". Well, that means that we have to put out points to prove that the motion is wrong, hence the points should be made to defend that talent triumphs over hard work. I know, hard right. But Alhamdulillah( a Muslim way of saying thank God). we won the debate and I was given the "Best Speaker" award. I am delighted but my happiness shall only last for a week.

      Today, on 4th of April 2012, we are the proposing team regarding the motion "Peer pressure does more harm than good". Last time, we were facing girls as our opponents, but today, we are against the boys, and being a student in an all-girl school doesn't make things easier. And I have a confession to make, I dont think I did my best and I truly regret that. I mean, guys/guy staring at me makes me nervous. I mean, was it necessary for you to stare at me during the whole period of the debate competition?? Never mind.

      Anyways, we did not win the debate but our 3rd speaker won the "Best Speaker" award, so, we didn't feel so disappointed. Overall, losing is not a bad thing. For sure you would feel disappointed but trust me, the feeling would go away in 10 seconds. We have a blast along our journey in this competition and the experience we have could not be replaced. So, I guess, we did win something huh?!!!
