I would like to tell a story about myself in the past that has a very strong image until now.
Until the age of 15, I still don’t know on how to ride a bicycle. Everyone was laughing at me but I don’t care until a day I see all of my friends were riding bicycle and how enjoy they were. I was the one that left out. So I told myself that I need to learn how in order to enjoy the fun.

First I start by borrowing a 4 wheels bicycle. I started off with it. I start to ride and enjoy with my friends. People still laugh at me even I know how to ride! “That was how baby ride a bicycle”
Basically I do not care on how they look at me and the problem is 2 wheels bike is more common that 4 wheels. 2 wheels bike is harder to control as compared to 4 wheels. So I decided to take up the challenge to ride a 2 wheels bicycle. HAHAHA!
At 1st, I can’t even make 1 cycle out of it. Thankful, these friends are true friend and mentors. They are willing to teach me HOW. They guided. I still remember those keywords. They said learn how to BALANCE YOURSELF, CONQUER YOUR FEAR (my mind was keep telling me it’s difficult to balance!!!) and JUST KEEP PADDLING! WALAH! I start to able to paddle a few cycles! True joy were form in my heart that time.
That’s not the end yet, only able to make a few paddles doesn’t mean I can sustain. It took me 3 months from riding a 4 wheels bike to start paddling a few cycles of a 2 wheels bike. I fell and hurt myself in order to maintain the ride. I fall, I bleed, I never give up and continue to do it. I can’t even remember how many times I repeat the above statement.
However, I do noticed improvement, the numbers of falling and the severeness of injuries decrease inversely proportional to the number distance I can cycle. Finally, in 6 months time, I manage to “graduate” and now the cycling method has implanted in my subconscious mind. I know how to ride once I’m on bike. Thanks to those friends who teach me and I'm grateful on that.
I believe everyone will have this kind of story within their own. Recall it, bring back that type of similar feeling, energy and apply it on everything you do. This is the true you that can lead you to your own success!
