Love reading biography. Enjoy reading others biography and their motivation rush that pushes them to be a successful man now. I can be so engross in a book to the extend that I can miss a meal unknowingly! Can U imagine how crazy am I? The idea of writing journal daily if possible origin from here. I wouldn't want to miss any page of happiness found daily in my life especially to someone short term memory like me.
Just read finish Fann's self-Illustrated biography. I used to have a neutral image on her about her celebrity life. However,after reading her biography,it alter the impression of me on her. She is indeed a very hardworking artist that is being hinder behind the scene. She depicts her life in the book as an adventures journey that brought her from a girl-next-door to a famous celebrity till today.The tears,the laughters,the perseverance....and it makes me realised being a successful man is not easy. Enjoy reading the most is her childhood chapter whereby she share stuffs like Lipton tea was used to be an 'in' thing in the past(which i couldn't believe) or how she got spilt boiling water on her thigh and her dad poured dark soy sauce over it(according to her dad it's supposed to be good for burns in the past which i couldn't believe too). Coming up next on the shelf will be Thaddeus Cheong biography. He is one of the most inspiring teenager who has a deep passion for sport and excelled in triathlon. His biography was being written by his aunt after his departure on June 24 2007 after completing the 24th south east Asia games triathlon achieving the third position at the age of 17 years old. Definitely the most true worth reading books ever.
Biography may not be just inspirating true life story. It can also be words of wisdom in this ongoing complicated century whereby we are surrounded by all irresistible temptations. Books like Fridays with Philip is one of it.He complied all his interesting interviews in a book sharing topics like language(I worry about our English standards today) to People (Had Lee Kuan Yew not been tough?). FYI,he is a writer who wrote weekly Friday column in the newspaper from Streats(Old times newspaper heading) in 2002 to The Straits Times.
Just a little sharing session of mine in a paragraph: My mum has the most hardest times when I'm in pri sch. Playing truant and getting poor results is what upset her the most. Being canned with ruler the most times and being the most talkative student in class is my champion tittle in class.Every year,my report book comment will only be one line: Grace is too talkative in class and she needs to concentrate more in her studies to improve her grades. During my PS LE year,mum finally quit her job and guided me on my studies. Memoriesing my science book is all i do daily after school. Words by words without missing before i am allowed to go to bed. And it tooks me almost half a year to memorise all the 3 years science books(P3 to P6) before i sat for my PS LE. Thankfully,My science improved tremendously from a F to a B+ all because of her. I was enrolled to a good secondary school. But I missed the opportunity in excelling.However,this never puts me down and I'm actually thankful till this days of what i had gone through to make me to be who I am today.Life may not be the way I desire but always keeping in mind,failure is important as it keeps me motivated and gives me strength constantly. Without failure,I will never know what is the taste of success. Everyone has a biography to share,so do I. I enjoy reading others and I hope whoever reading now enjoy reading mine too. (:
