In memory of the founder

It shocked me when I learned that the death of the founder of Singapore Judo Federation, Mr M. I didn't expect he would passed away. He was the founder of Singapore Judo Federation.

I remembered what P said to me and YT "We all will die, it is just how soon." I was expecting it will come so fast. Yes, we all have to die, it is just how soon.

Mr M was borned at the right time for playing Judo in Singapore. In 1940s, Judo was introduced in Singapore by Japanese. Old Judo players like Mr M, who started their sport career in 1950s, got good results in International competition. But after Judo became an Olympic sport, the sport became more and more competitive. And we all know that Singapore's part time players can no long stand against other countries' full time players. Mr M lived in a right time, otherwise he would become a unknown guy in this sport.

Few weeks ago, when I was chatting with R. She said in real life luck is important. She is right. We can control some, but not all.
