the friendly issue
There's been so much going on, the stuff they say, and all that.
Well everyone has different views.
Some probably wont understand because money has been something they never had to worry about.
Well, not everyone's so lucky.
They are blessed but with family, with talent. but let's be honest, in singapore you need to survive, and passion isnt about everything anymore. passion does not mean a living.
Something those above, will never understand because you have all to survive, without worries.
If everyone had money and/or parents to support them until we grow old, then there maybe a higher chance for a lot of athlete to excel to their fullest potential.
Look at our very own silat world champion, he's got talent, he's got passion, no doubt about that,
but when he has to survive in the real world, he cant.
It's difficult to work full and be a full time sporting athlete.
You gotta choose sometimes, to lay off work, or sports.
but to lay off sports, as a full time athlete, you do get money.
It's hard to survive in singapore with a family to look after
-who's gonna help you survive, who's going to get your family through.
It's something that hopefully should be looked into.
To give up passion because of the need to survive, it's such a waste, why cant anyone look into and give such athletes a chance to excel in both. it'll be tough but it is possible isnt it.
There'll always be a way, we just need to look hard and deep enough and hopefully get such opportunities.
For those who have found such amazing opportunities, that's just lovely,
But for those who havent, hopefully soon, there will be such opportunities for many out there.
