21st April

The gray period:

A story to tell; There was a journalist who interviewed a pretty successful business man and asked him how come he is so successful in what he does? His ans was two words, “Good Decision”. Then she asked again, how do you make a good decision? His ans was one word, “Experience”. Then how did you gain the experiences? His ans was another two words, “Bad Decision”.

This is the famous 212 story told by my Dy course commander and many of the instructors. In order to be successful in what we do, we got to make good decisions all the time to make it through out daily work. The only way to be able to make such correct decision is by learning through the passed experience and specially those that was made bad. The best way to learn is to learn from our own experience coz we will retain better but how many lives can we spare to learn all the bad decisions. Its surely not easy learning the experience others have and treating it like ours so as not to be in a dire situation that we might not come back alive.

I have been flying everyday for the pass week except Friday as there was a search in flying hours. Will be going for my OC CX on Monday for failing 2 sorties in 10 sorties. Damn... Not getting it right for my circuit work and safety is always the issue. It’s not like going for NASCA circuit but something much more. Being too safe sometimes can hinder the things you want to do. Flying is like driving a manual car, talking on your phone, reading a map and looking out for other drivers all at the same time. Not including the different axis that the aircraft still have. This is the phase of flying solo in a week or two.

Tune in for my next update, if there isn’t any means I might be done for and flying back home. Else, hope I can post up more interesting news for my friends and family members. Meanwhile, stay happy, health and take care always… ~@~

A smile can bring you wonders...
