A Call to Fight

Every guy looks for a fight, in one way or another. I'm not just talking about physical fights. I'm talking about challenges. Guys just like to have challenges.



Some guys fight it out at the basketball court. They really become competitive and want to win every single game.

Some guys fight it out in the classroom. They become so conscious of every single mark in their tests and exams that they always want to be first in class.

Some guys fight it out in the virtual world, either in Maple Story or DOTA or WoW. They want to be the best and own as many people as possible.


Guys, face it. We just like challenges. We like to win. And I really think it's nothing wrong, as long as the things we fight for are good. When the time comes for us to fight, we have to fight. If not, we will stand to miss out certain things in life.



For example, when I was in the BMT (Basic Military Training) phase of my National Service many years ago, I really wanted to become an officer. And to do it, I would have to fight for the limited places available. It was really time for me to rise up and fight.

Instead, I didn't really respond to the call to fight. I was a bit slack and tried to avoid doing too much stuff. To cut a long story short, in the end, I was posted to SISPEC (School of Infantry Specialists). My dream to become an officer was dashed.

Guys, when it's time to fight, fight. Don't run away. (Of course, please fight for the right thing)
