Habit 3: Absolute Belief
Well, I was once a girl who dreaded exam and got horrible results for it. But ever since a special teacher walked into life when I was in primary 5, I must admitted that he had changed me. He inspired me to work hard and had seen the potential in me, so he moved me to sit with students who are more studious. I heeded his advice and changed for a better person, the people around me kept pushing me on and in the end, to my own surprise, I actually got second in class which I had never did in my whole primary school life. I don't believe in myself. And I also had been in the worst class before that, well, which every teachers dreaded too. Now I believed that everything have to be come from your hard works, sweat and your soul. You have to believe that you can do it. Me, myself, I seriously dont' believe in inheriting your mother or your father's good genes, then you can be a better person and can think better, achieving the same of your parents' achievement. I don't believe in that, both my parent are not well-educated too. You have to press on no matter how hard your life is. Jia you!

P116 Absolute Belief (AVeoA3009)
Habit 3: Absolute Belief
I played for a Sunday league team on Sunday (obvious) and I recall this incident clearly even though it happened a few months back.
We were playing against another team who fielded players much more experienced than us technically. We were being pinned back in our half in the first half as the opponents scored 2 goals.
During the half-time talk, our coach said this to us, "Do not be intimidated just because they are stronger physically and technically more advanced than all of you. You only need to tell yourself this, 'I can win this game!' and the game will be yours to win."
Fired up by the coach's words, our team managed to win the game 4-3 at the end of the game. Our coach then said this, as we gathered for a full-time talk, "Remember, you are your own enemy. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else would."
Till today, I remember his words of wisdom everywhere I go and have belief in my own abilities, be it on or off the soccer field.

Habit 3: Absolute Belief
I kept failing my 2.4 km run. I told myself that I can do it, using the skill ‘Absolute Belief’, I kept telling myself 'I can do it' and I finally endured through the run and passed.

Habit 3: Absolute Belief
The skill of absolute belief has indeed helped me a lot through the program of the “Knights of the Round Table”. It taught me to trust in myself and believe that I can do it as long as I aspire. There is no limit to possibilities. Life is never impossible.
Just like the trip to the moon. Last time, people claimed that going to the moon was an impossible thing to be done. The first person, Mr Armstrong, did it.
Through the talk, I applied what I have learnt to jogging and prior to it, I was jogging for only 5 rounds at one go. Now I can jog 7 at one go which is a great achievement for me.

After the talk, I try the Absolute Belief method and told myself that I can do well in my studies and pass my tests, by telling myself that and studying, I did score well and did quite good for my tests.

Habit 3: Absolute Belief
I always did badly in english; just merely passing all the time. I told myself to believe in myself and continue working hard and by the next test I scored an 'A' in it.
This is an example of how 'Absolute Belief' helped me in my life.

Habit 3: Absolute Belief
Reciting of Self-Belief Statement.
I am a gymnast. Still remembered the moment before competition, where it was going to be my turn to perform up at the trampoline. During the period, besides looking at my fellow ‘comrades’ performing, I also thought of winning in my mind. I told myself not to be afraid and do the best I can.
When it’s my turn, I gave it all I got and I performed pretty well in the competition. Although our school did not win (we got 6th in Singapore), but I have learned that the power of the inner mind is a great reservoir of power. Like a well, it has energy that can be tapped onto. I think that if the inner power was tapped on even more, we might even achieve better results.

Habit 3: Absolute Belief
After going through the adhoc training for the 8 habits of mind, I tried it out by first choosing Habit 3: Absolute belief. Being a very low self-esteemed person, it contradicted the habit I had chosen. I used to have absolutely no confidence in myself and what I was able to achieve.
In the worksheet, I had stated down, under My Unlimited World of Reality, that I was to recite a few statements 3 times daily; one of which was that “I am a good person!”
Not that I thought that I was not a good person. It was that I thought I wasn’t good enough for many people such as my juniors and seniors in St John Ambulance Brigade. It seems as though I had let them down too many times. I carry a heavy responsibility in SJAB to maintain discipline and ensure that their trainings are effective. However, being the head of discipline is no easy feat because you tend to want to be favored among the seniors yet at the same time pleasing to the juniors. With me shouting at the juniors every now and then makes me a rather unpopular senior among the rest. If I don’t shout at them, the seniors will shout at me. A rather awkward situation to be in.
Anyway, I reminded myself that I was a good person trying to do the right thing.
Time flew by, and it led to the day of the last parade before End of Year examinations begin. As usual, I shouted at them, more than I intended to and one of them nearly cried.
So my squad mates and I talked to them regarding discipline and later we had some fun running up and down the school car park.
After closing parade, one of our alumni Sir came and did a separate AAR (after action review) for the juniors and my squad mates and I. It turned out that we did a fine job in the discipline sector as well as cheering them up after we scolded them. The juniors did not have too many complaints. I was relieved.
I soon came to realize that it wasn’t that I was not good enough; it was actually because I did not believe in myself.

P104 Absolute Belief (AVeoA3002)
Since Sec 1, I always wanted to get Gold for my Napfa. But I have been getting Bronze during sec 1 & Silver during sec 2. I had not been doing well for my standing broad jump which caused my failure of getting a Gold.
But this year, after knowing how I can use the habits, I finally gotten a Gold for my napfa. I used the Absolute Belief - by repeatedly telling myself that i can do it. I finally jumped 220cm where I met the criteria for Gold. I was overjoyed by this success. If I had not believed in myself, I think that I would not have achieved this great success.

P101 Absolute Belief (AVeoA3001)
Habit 3: Absolute Belief
Being a NCC [Sea] cadet in PHS, I aspire to do well in it, and devoted a lot of my time into this CCA however, I was unsure of myself, as I was afraid that I would not be able to qualify for the challenge quest, where cadets are to be able to complete 50 standard push-ups and sit-ups both within a minute, and complete a 1km run and a standard obstacle course within 6 minutes, as I do not have much stamina, and compared to my other peers, I am considered quite a poor runner.
However, after learning the Inner Knight's 1st 8 habits, I started to implement this habit into my life, the habit of self-belief, where I tap into the power of my unconsciousness, and tell myself that I would be able to do it everyday just before I go to bed, and when I woke up, until the day of selection.
During the selection, our commanding officer, LTA Ash Ng took us and wanted all the secondary three cadets that are considered fit to compete in it. Surprisingly, I was the first to complete both my 50 push-ups and sit-ups, and we had a mini standard obstacle course, where my timing was second. These were all moral boosters for me before the last station, which was the 1km run. I kept telling myself that I could do it during the run, and guess what? I came in 3rd in the run, and was chosen to be in the team! What’s more, I was even made the team captain and had to train the other team members in preparation for the upcoming challenge quest! This was a very important thing that happened to me in my life, and I am very happy to have succeeded in it, and most importantly, to have succeeded by using one of the habits taught to me during the training sessions.
