hey again.

i remember during one of the cell sessions at the start of the year, we were asked how open were we willing to be to our cell. at that time, i don't think anyone had said 100%. which is, of course, expected. 100% means not pondering, just *snap* and thats it. you just tell. we face problems. everyone does. only thing is, i guess sometimes why we are so brought down by our various obstacles is due to our unwillingness to be open. to share it.

why should we share it?

when we share, first and foremost we may be able to meet others who have gone through or are going through the same problems as you! they may be able to help you with whatever problems you have. moreover, if someone else is going through the same problem, you could encourage each other as you go along. like in the triathalon for this year's sea games, thailand had 2 participants, while singapore only had one. that had led us to lose out in the biking segment. although we did eventually catch up in the running segment, but it did prove to be extremely difficult. see, one is alone, two is unbreakable.

i admit, there are some problems i would not share for now. i guess it's really a matter of building up trust and faith among each other.

thats the second one. by sharing, i guess you are really sending the message that "look, i'm trusting you, i have faith in you that you won't turn against me". yes? slowly, that trust builds up within the cell. and then, we would be more open towards each other, having built that trust.

i certainly hope that there'd be a day when we would be just free of any strongholds within our cell. a dream, most would say, but i think that that day is approaching. let's take the first step, and the rest of the road would be easy to continue.

jae. again. haha.
