Dear Sec1s,

It has again been a tiring weekend for everyone. I want to compliment on the effort put in for your drills during the 2 training. It is a good effort to start off and to strive for excellence. If the standard of your drills can be maintained at this level or even surpass this standard till the day you graduate, it will really show a great improvement to both your character and personalities.

Like what i told some of you, it is time to grow up. You can still choose to remain as kids but when you are a kid, you depend heavily on you parents to support you. It is the time to start to learn to be independent. There is this famous quote, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give the man a fish." If you do not understand what it means, I'll break it up for you to understand.
If someone gives a you a fish, will you learn how to fish? What if one day, the person that gives the fish no longer gives you a fish? Without the person that gives you the fish, where will you find the fish from? This is the result of being too dependent, which is not very good.
If someone teaches you how to fish, you no longer need to depend on the person to give you a fish everyday, is it much better that your life no longer depends on someone else?

Many millionairs start off with a simple effort to make a change in their life. Do you want to be the next millionair, someone successful or to achieve something that you wish to?

Let me give you another quote i find it very meaningful, " Achievement " what does it mean to you? This poster i saw define "Achievement - start with what is possible, then what is necessary and without even knowing it, you are achieving something that is impossible you think it is! "
I'll make it easier for you guys to understand by relating it to what i want to achieve in life. I want to build a light aircraft for 2. Many of you might think it is impossible, but it is not impossible. A girl in the America States, at the age of 17, built her own plane and it was approved by the federal aviation authorities. Notice, It is a Girl, aged 17 and the plane is approved by FAA. The entire article can be found on youtube. Alright back to where i am, breaking up the above quote into different segments where i will work to achieve what i want to.
Start with what is possible: I started off with studying and making sure that i know my work well. Aircraft are vehicles that requires very precise work in order to ensure safe flight, therefore studying in school is important to ensure safety during operation of aircraft. School teaches you basic of technical work, therefore, it is also very important. By ensure that i have started off with a good foundation ensures that work is much more simpler ahead.
Do what is necessary: Reading up is one of the way to improve knowledge on construction of an aircraft. An aircraft may look simple but it is not so simple, therefore you have to do what is necessary like doing research and reading up. I do youtube and search for this documentary "Air Crash Investigation". It is a documentary that investigate why an aircraft fail and crash. By knowing such information, you ensure that you do not commit the same mistake.

This are some of the simple examples, it is endless on what you can do to achieve something. Back to you guys, you may not have dreams as big as me, but this is the way you can try to think and figure out how you want to achieve what you want. You can put this into action in NPCC too. Passing drills, campcraft are not any difficult things, just do what is necessary and so on like i told you earlier.

I think it is about time i stop if not things can go on endlessly.

However, lastly, if you have any problems regarding how you should do up your uniform or problems in class, do approach me, im really friendly, if you dont believe. I hope this will motivate you all to do better and achieve the best out of each and everyone of you. We, instructors are simple people, we all want you to pass out, not only with a good parade, but also something that you can bring out and become a useful person in future. Till then, i see each of you on the next training with the best of your uniform.

Ps: for those that do not want to attend training, it is their lost. Valuable experiences gained only throught real experiences cannot be compared with money. It is the level of maturity that makes you understand. If you do not understand what is above, you will some day. It is either now or later, where you will be at a lost to other more competitive people.
