Done!

i just handed in my portfolio..almost complete though 1 tutorial is undone..dis was a rush job i tell ya..n i promised God it'd be e last last-minute piece of work i hand in..e others were not..serious..i was workin on them from e 1st to last minutes..but i guess i neglected n underestimated dis piece of crap..never again man..must pray i dun ever overlook any work again..no more man..i stand chastised n corrected..

thinkin of Band of Brothers Episode 6 or 7 again..with e Company Sergeant Major tellin his story..dats a real CSM i tell ya..not like e play-act 1s we hav back home in e SAF..

Carwood Lipton i still remembr his name..1st Sergeant Lipton.."we cleared e woods north of Foie n e woods south of Foie.. the road was now open for us to advance on Foie itself..but in my opinion we were still not ready..Easy Company still had no combat leader..e post of Company CO was filled by a ghost who was just not there..in mind, body or spirit.."

we all wish sometime or other dat we had betta leaders or dat we were betta leaders..leaders give us a rock of refuge n stability(but its all illusory)..but in life we make do with e leaders we hav, not e leaders we want or hope to be..

i say leadershp is both proved n developed..in e dark days between dawn n dusk..in e quiet hours where e living (n e sane) turn away or submit, e leader is born n his mantle is proven by fire..Thomas Paine said in e moments of terror, true courage comes forth n e testin of the sunshine patriot n weekend soldier proves their value..

to e guys i say, 1 day we all will be called upon to lead in some capacity..dun shirk man..n dun throw out arrows at ur frens who hav had more guts to serve in leadership than u n den dodge behind e mask of annonimity..

i dun wanna lead..just make e most of my time here on Earth..cos i've been on borrowed time since e 2nd a's..haha..nonsense i noe..anywae..thank God my stuff's done this week
