Have you ever insisting on one of your goals for such a long time that you are just one step away but you never take that step instead, you let the chance passes by and you feel regret.?  It tells the best when I first meet my girlfriend. “This will be the very last letter that I send to her, if she doesn't reply. I will tell my mom!!!” Follow T,L & G, guest what my mom said “Don't forget your stamp!!!”

Yes, sometimes it's so easy for us to forget what it really takes to reach our goal; it's as simple as being sticking a stamp. Let me put it this way. I was born in a family of business so I was highly expected to be a businessman. To be given the family expectation is very stressful and its stress that make me feel like running away.

“Dad, there are so many difficulties that I need to face, I want to be a successful man but I feel so tired and I really want to give up”

Before you make any decision son, I don't want you to lost key ingredients in your life.”“ Success is just like a letter. It was composed by 3 things.  The letter itself represents your passion; things that you have burning desire to achieve and the address, which represents the goal, the destination that your passion is heading to, in your case,

that is make a successful business and finally, a stamp not only represents the price that you need to pay for your dream but there is one very interesting thing that no matter how far your dream and you passion are going, the stamp always sticks to the letter until it gets there. Stick to it.

Heywood Broun said “The tragedy of life is not that we lose, but that we almost won the game” “don't give up so easily. Remember, only continuous efforts could make the difference! I know you're just one step away.”

Do you still remember the last letter that I send to the girl with a stamp? After 61 letters that I send out each and every single day in the past two month, I get a reply!!! She accepted with my invitation for going out for a walk, a dinner and after that, she even gave me her first time, first time evaluation!!! You know what? I am qualified!!! It felt like blossom in spring and I started to wonder is it just because my new curly hair or is it because the step that I took, the spirit of being like a stamp that never gave up?

I knew it sounds stupid but I can't find any better examples to illustrate my point. You see, This is the 2^nd year for Sammi, a great speaker to come back delivering her passion; from tragic hero to the real badge, it's the passion that keeps her going and it's her going that reinforce her passion, the passion that guide her to fly all the way to her destination. For me, she is a true stamp.

This is also the 3^rd year for 單康寧, a marvelous presenter to come back pursuing his dream; From sandwich to Joanna's shoes and all the way to A+. What you could see is their burning desire to pursue what he truly believe but what you didn't see behind the scene is his continuous efforts which make him who he is today, for me, he is a true stamp.

There is still a guy who comes back for the 4^th time and his name is Hubert. After my division contest, one of the contestant grab the Mic and yelled “We need some new faces” when it's my turn to speak “I do agree that we need some new faces and if it's necessary, I am seriously thinking about doing a facial surgery to change my face because my passion, my dream and my perseverance will never, never, never change.” From then on, they give me a nick name; they started to call me “The stampmaster!!!”

What about you? What's your passion? Your dream? And where is your stamp? Stick to it.  Forest Gump said that life is a box of chocolate and I said that life is a box of stamps. It doesn't matter what you goal is, it doesn't matter how long it would take, continuous efforts will eventually make the difference.

I am so honor to tell you that my dad is proud of me for taking his business and now, I am more than willing to be like a stamp.  Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to find your letter, write your own address yet most importantly, be like a stamp, Stick to your goal and go achieve it.
