as usual, i was wrong. kinda sad really. this always happens.


LTC seriously rocked my socks off. i mean, i met great people (Treebeard!! i love you guys!!), not to mention great facilitators who, on a personal level, taught me a lot on what being a leader was all about. i think that one of the most important lessons taught was that as a leader, i needed to learn to be forgiving. to learn that everyone makes mistakes once in a while. for the accident-prone, of course it's intolerable. but for some mistakes, i think it's better to learn from them rather than pin-pointing blame which is ultimately useless. common sense you say? yearh, i suppose so, but many of us, even the best of us, need to be reminded of this once in a while.


i really hope to come back to the LTC next year as a facil so that i'll be able to teach the next batch of trainies some of the lessons learnt. i think that the new friendships that i've forged during the whole 4 days would be able to stand of time. at least, i really hope so anyway.

i used to carry the weight of the world
but now all i wanna do is spread my wings and fly
don't know why i was so afraid
everytime.
