It is Not the Cheering that Makes You Stronger...

I'm sure many of you have heard of the phrase "It is not the number of times you Fall that counts. It is the number of times you Get Up." A quote that helps to make failures a little less negative to one's mind.

Optimism. Mankind has always tried to encourage one another to think positive and help each other to achiece success. Everytime we try to achieve our Dreams, there will always be something that stands in our way. Be it family, monetary issues, lack of skills/talent, or whatever. Or most commonly, everytime we get up, we fail again. It is frustrating to find that no matter how hard we try, we simply couldn't achieve that goal. That target. That Dream.

And worst of all, people jeer at you. People hate you. They despise you. 'Cause you couldn't accomplish anything. "Loser! Sucker! JUST ROT AT HOME!" may have been some those insults thrown at you. Or simply the famous international jeer "BOOOOO!"

But let me tell you this. A stadium full of applause and cheering, and a section of people jeering and insulting you. Both are simply the same. They are just noises that doesn't really make much sense at times. But how you perceive that noise, is totally a different thing. Try to channel that noise, especially the jeerings, into cheers to support you in what you're gonna do. Turn them into strength.

I believe that Cheering doesn't make one stronger (although it is scientifically proven that cheering and aural support help to amplify one's performance in sports or rigourous activities). We need to develop our strength and push our limits further in order to keep Staying Up rather than Getting Up from a Fall over and over again. To do this, we gotta take any critique or insults or whatsoever into something positive. Channel them to strengthen yourself. From this, our minds will constantly think "I need to get better" and you will never be complacent ever.

Push your boundaries, and chances are that you'll continue to Stand Up more than you Fall... Even Jump Up High if Possible... =)
