NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE !


Nothing is impossible, but I doubt they could fit inside :P

Salam..

So here comes my concluding post regarding the Perhimpunan Wira Negara Revolusi 1Malaysia.

There neither any sense of violence nor terrifying incidents happened throughout the event. It was just another youth event... One thing that should be observed is that, our youths can behave.

It is also good to see campaigns such as 1Belia1Kemahiran to be part of the event... because personally, I really feel that in all that participated, they do have their own skills that can be developed further.

The Minister of Youth and Sports , DS Ahmad Shabery Cheek once said that, he do hope and looking forward for more events that participants came full heartedly out of their own interest and accord. The 20k crowds that flocked Bukit Jalil from 7-9 January definitely did that. Those that was present came as far as Singapore, rode on their vespa to join the event.

The first step is there, to gather the youths to get to do to what they love most.. through a better channel. Maybe after this, it will be even better and bigger.

Personally, I had my piece of lesson as well. In terms of event organization, it taught me also that to have an event of that scale; it needs passion, commitment and determination. The whole event was held without any funding from the Government or GLCs or any other big sponsors. From individuals to small partners, it made the event a success.

There this one common sentence that tends to annoy me a lot, “kalau tak ada peluru, macam mana nak pegi berperang”. Translation: If do not have any bullets, how can you even go for a battle. Bullet metaphorically represents money. In their case, they did not have enough funding either, but it still came out well.

Apart from that, I understood the importance of having the right team. It is not about the quantity, it is on quantity. The event may be Bro Arman’s brainchild but it took only a team of 7 to be the backbone of whole planning. Of course, during the event day, there are people like me that worked as volunteers as well J

They taught me that nothing is impossible when you put your mind, thoughts and efforts full heartedly. For me, how they need to deal with some publics’ misperception, critics and sceptics will be just another part and parcel of life...and since it’s them, I think they got used to it by now already! Haha :P

To the 7s,if you’re reading this, good luck in everything you do bros!

To all my other readers, remember... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
