Today in the morning I went swimming. Someone took a number two in the pool, so we went to the outdoor pool and swam for half an hour and then we came back into the indoor pool and then after a little bit of swimming, the pool started to smell funny... I TOOK THE LONGEST SHOWER IN MY LIFE =D

BTW I wrote a essay =D

I Want to Win

by Steven Zie =D

in a world where competition is global, people need determination to survive the challenges they must face to be one the top of that competition and on top of the world. Why would someone work so hard when they could be enjoying their lives? Ask that question to any athlete and they will tell you, "I want to win."

One might ask, "How do you win?" well, we must break down this complex journey into steps. Firstly, you need inspiration to keep you inspired to keep going even through tough times. Secondly, you need something to motivate you and not give up. Finally, you need determination, so all the hard work will not go to waste if you just simply drop out.

When people are young, they might have said they wanted to become a doctor, policeman, or a mayor, but no matter what they said, those words came out of their mouthes because something inspired them to become that. Inspiration can come from anything like a friend, parent, or and idol, but the purpose of inspiration is to make you feel s if anything is possible and all you need is some motivation and determination to grasp on to your dream.

To me, motivation can be related to two things: one is bribery , and the other is treat. A simple idea of a child not wanting to complete his schoolwork can show us these two ideas. Assuming the child does not enjoy doing his homework, he could be doing his homework because he wants to get good grades, which is similar to a bribe. The child could also be doing his homework because he is afraid of being scolded by his parents. Lastly you need determination.

Determination? This is the most important. This drives you. This keep you going and without it, everything else would have gone to waste. After all this work, you don't have the determination to keep going, is like running a marathon, but giving up half way. This marathon is only useful if you complete it, but if you give up half way, you would have wasted all you effort. Be determined and you will be successful.

Winning is easier written then done, but keep going, be inspired, be motivated, and have determination. If all that is done, then strive to be your best and you will....

WIN!
