Spent my day off with my dad and mom, watching Thor in cinema. The action and graphic, actor and actress are all great, it's just the plot of the movie is kind of ordinary. Not much surprise, predictable. It's still a good movie though, if you're not that picky and choosy~ =D
After movie, while waiting for my big sister to come over (since we going to celebrate her birthday which is on 21 Nov~ ), I persuaded mom and dad to come with me to Borders bookstore which has Starbucks cafe within it, instead of sitting in the Starbucks cafe in the mall. After bought a drink for them, so that they could just surfing facebook while enjoying their mocha frap, I can now looking around in the bookstore, randomly pick up some books and do some reading~ A stress-free period where I can relax my mind and just enjoy the books and the joys it brings me. =)
While I doing my random reading, a book attracted my attention. It stated on the cover, "Ronaldo: The Obsession for Perfection", with my loved one Cristiano Ronaldo wearing his no7 Real Madrid jersey. I can't stop my hand from reaching the book, and started to flip it to discover whatever contents lies within. The perception and views of CR7. His life, his passion and obsession. The mindset of him, how he overcomes the obstacles and finally has the fame that he owns today. I was falling into the book, into his life, and I seek for more. I want to learn everything about him, want to see the world from his point of view, want to feel what he felt. He is my obsession, my motivation, my spiritual and moral support. He was then and he still is. I was thrilled and I couldn't hide my own excitement while I doing the reading at a corner of the bookstore. It is irresistible, and I have to get this book, I have to make it mine. Without further consideration, I took the book, and continued my random reading journey. The next book that intrigued me named Guide to Self Esteem. The words Self Esteem actually attracted my eyes. From the few pages and lines I read from my idol, I knew I need more self esteem, I need confidence so that I can have greater achievement in my life. Just like what my idol did, and still doing. While I deeply immersed in my own little world, my sister called me to inform that she had arrived. I didn't do much thinking, calculating and considering at the moment, I just walked to the counter and paid for the books. I felt satisfied. =D
I never know he is someone that craved for perfection. A perfectionist, which I believed I was one of them before. The trait started faded from me, since I don't know when specifically. Mostly started from my high school. I thought all footballer loves party, cigar, and of course liquor, but he actually obsesses to ban cigarette smoke, and almost abstaining himself from alcohol. He is very particular about his image, his appearance. He goes gym everyday just to keep the perfect body line, he restricts his own diet to keep himself healthy, he wants to be in his perfect form in every game he is participating. We need to be prepared anytime, anywhere, so that when there is a chance, we can be success just in one strike. I felt myself so much related to him, we have so many things in common than I realized. He wants to be the best, and will never stop for being the best. He motivates me, and I want to be the best too. I want to become a perfectionist, again.
"What's my biggest weakness? I don't know...
I like to be great on every level, not just physically and mentally too.
There's no single aspect that I work on more than others.
I just want to keep getting stronger."
