A time for reflection as we approach 2005

*stands**applauds* Ken, you are the kinda of person that keeps me coming back. Such devotion and dedication to others than yourself.

You know Ken, I've *always* found that you can express my thoughts on FIRST better than I ever could. Good job.

Thank you for your support everyone.

When we get into build period in January 2005, things are going to get stressful and difficult. It is very easy to get caught in the moment and let your emotions carry you away; all it takes is a spark to ignite them. It is my hope that this piece of writing will remind you why you are involved in the first place. If you keep that in the back of your head, it might calm you down at the most unlikely time.

At the very least I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as when I write it.


Even though I am no longer a regular Chief Delphi Forum poster, it continues to be my wish to connect with the FIRST community through my writings. These long posts give me both the chance to practice writing English since I learned it as a second language, and the time to think.

For a post that “only” takes half an hour to read, it took more than a few days to organize the thoughts and put them into writing. Makes me in awe every time I wonder how others write volumes of books in their life time. Thanks again to Chief Delphi for providing place for me to post yet another bunch of my mindless thoughts.

P.S. If you haven’t already done so, you should watch the video where the quote at the beginning of the post comes from. It is on Soap 108’s website: http://www.soap108.com/2004/movies/cmp/index.cfm, titled cmp_awards01.wmv.

They say practice makes perfect, and you've done a good job of learning our tricky language. Then again, you've had lots of practice writing these long posts.

Ken, again you've come out with a very well thought out post.

Bravo! Totally catching the true essence of FIRST, which is so hard to do.

By the way, what is this 'sleep' that you all speak of? Must be new to me...
