Another family member of Joseph Schooling, this time his cousin, @peiyenleong on instagram has wrote a post dedicated to his fighting spirit.
She reminds us also that behind all his triumphs and failures, he is also only human.
Here is what she said
“What people see: a lost match, a failed mission to the nation, a disappointing minute, a chance to join the bandwagon and speak their two cents with mean disheartening comments.
What I see is a guy who had every possible obstacle thrown to him over the years and he faced them with a strong front and mind.
A guy who is just like any one of us, who has good and bad days in life.
A guy who I proudly call him family any time, any day – whether he’s at the top or bottom, Olympic pool or home, swimmer or not, he will always be my couz. And I’m so proud of him.”
A video was uploaded on multiple social media sites after two elderly men were seen crossing the zebra crossing without stopping.
The man even held up his hand so that vehicle will notice him.
However, from the angle that the car approach he will not be able to see the cyclist as the cam-car is blocked the view. He should slow down when there is an obstruction of view on the road.
The vehicle failed to slow down and the man was sent flying. At the same time, the cyclist should have dismount and look out for traffic before crossing.
A story was shared online about a young punk that thinks that investing in cryptocurrency is easy.
Here is the story:
I am 22 this year, I started trading cryptocurrency and stocks recently and made a windfall of about $8000, I only started with $500 and it only took me less than 1 month to earn this amount.
That made me feel that many people said that trading is difficult is not true.
I got confident and threw the $8000 I made back into trading and $2000 dollars more into my trader account. I let greed too over logic and I lost almost all of it within a week. I kind of regret what has happened but I think there is no such thing as 100% bad, as I will learn something from this lesson.
All in all, I only lost $2,500 of my own money. It still pains me to lose that $8,000 profit.
What was worse is I told my friend’s how easy it was and two of them also ended up with the same as me losing most of what I put in. This is what I feel the worst about.
But still not my problem, I shared their choice to put money in.
