An Influential Event

The most influential event for me so far was a military exercise I had in Brunei when I was a serviceman. That experience has taught me to appreciate the simplest of comforts that we tend to take for granted. The exercise lasted for 8 days in the dense rainforest that was very unforgiving at that time and during which it rained every day. The harsh conditions made me realised just how I really missed all the comforts that I usually enjoy. One example is food. Our food that we had were not favourable given the condition of the rainforest. The rain made it very hard to start a fire to cook any form of food. Having warm food, is a luxury in the field. Having that phase made me realised how lucky I am to have whatever that I enjoy at this period of time. It serves as a reminder to me to keep grounded and always appreciate whatever that i enjoy currently.
