wat makes a man a man...

"what makes a man a man.. is it his beginning or the way he end... it's the choice he made and the humane choice made him man..."

so, what makes an officer an officer, is it his commissioning parade, his 10 mth training, his sch results, his physcomatric test at cmpb or watever.. i dun know. maybe they are just a separate entity/department of the SAF, the departments which do the signing and endorsing of matters..

or, to put in nicer words.. people who conceptualise... (but let the rest carried out the plans)..

actually all in all, it's hard for me now to write good things bout officers. officers alone dun command respect. only LEADERS command respect. hence, officers will command as much respect as they can LEAD.

and it's not easy to lead. in fact, gathering from the Bible, a leader is a servant. To lead is to serve. and it's not an easy task.. you cannot expect the rewards to come from your men... it has to come from yourself.. it's a calling and it's a responsibilty.

moses lead his people out from egypt. but when they reach the red sea, and they thought they have no way to go... they blame moses for bring them out from egypt cos it's better to be slaves than to die in the wilderness..

hence, if we are called to be leaders.. i guess we will have our part to fulfil and the rest is up to God.
