The Best is Yet to Be - Reflections I

SYF time rolls along again, and as per normal, the onus is on RV to bring the gold, as much as it is laid on every other CCA participating.

But are we just gonna go out there and get some GwH? Or is there something else?

A Gold is nothing really. It's just a reflection of your standard as far as everyone else is concerned. It may, or may not, reflect your standard as far as you are concerned.

The similarity? That it is not easy to get either one done well. The difference? That the first one is secondary, and the second one is primary. It's not only the gold we should be looking for, it is to attempt to realize our fullest potential at the stage we are at.

Some do their best, but only get a Silver. That "best" is their reward, more than the silver ever will be. Some slack off, but still get a Gold. But do they have that intrinsic reward, or the maturity to realize whether they even have it? Perhaps not.

Let us then, be CCAs in RI who can walk off proudly from the stage, satisfied, and still get our GwH for the bragging rights back at school. Now that's the perfect combo.
