Bad-ass addiction

The first time I had a glimpse of King Lines was the time Philip showed us during the farewell BBQ at Sentosa or I can't even remember. But i remember catching snippets of it whenever he brought his laptop and projector with him. This time round, I finally managed to catch the full movie. It's super inspirational in all aspects aside from climbing.

"I start to realise, at least in this body, in this life time, this is all we've got.
We are here for just a finite amount of time, we dont know when we are gonna go, we don't know when we're gonna die, so if it's something important that i wanna do, then i gotta go for it now."

Climbing is this ever evolving thing, and although it really is about the goal and succeeding and getting to the top, at the same time it's a never-ending cycle of finding something that you're really motivated on, obsessing over it, and then once you get to the top, celebrating for a little while and then moving on to the next thing.
- Chris Sharma

It's the same with life ain't it? Studying is really about getting those As which will get you to where you want, but after that, what's next really?
We have to plan even further than that, we need to keep moving on, to better ourselves, because the world out there is so huge; there's so much to see, so much to explore.

And this, is only the beginning.
