Good Day Circle 1,

Many things have happened since the past few weeks, up and down from different side of views. However, we learn to be better everyday, and so far I come back to learn one thing.

Effort.

As I ended my last report with a magnificent statement from Uthar Wynn, _"Without strife, your victory has no meaning. Without strife, you do not advance. Without strife, there is only stagnation." _, I realized that I haven't done much to my life. Improvement will be achieved through effort and effort is not a burden. Personally I thank

R'deth for reminding me the wider perspective, that happiness is obtained by the joy of service, the fun of effort. That would be my great source of doing better today, as this day lays the reality of existence, with the hope for tomorrow. In real life, in the path of what I stride. Great Kalisada for creating such motivating poem.

Effort to improve my knowledge and skill for helping ill people, as to comfort their hearts and minds, as the true remedy of the disease is oneself's faith. Faith to recover will have a role of more than 70% of the recovery possibility. More powerful than giving medicine alone. Medicine is a scientific effort to kill the disease source, as the strength of faith is also an internal effort to fight against the respective disease.

I am glad to be around and involved with such dedicated people of showing the best interest, the best effort even though in the environment of game play. Care, concern, friendship are the things which always bring me to come back.

And today, several people around us have received dedicated recognition in our clan for their effort. Congratulations to our Quaestor, Archean for becoming the Tarentae, as well as in our house : SW Karel, KPN Troutrooper, and in neighbor house : SBM Sato, KAP Windos, and OP Dranik.

And for you Circle 1 members, I appreciate your effort, go for your best interest, and never give-up. "Who ever said anybody has a right to give up?" (Marian Wright delman). "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." (John Wesley). A great achievement will come in every shape of effort.

Now we go on the member's effort ;)

Okay Circle 1, ready your datapad

Even though we saw a bit scarcity on the achievement but yeah I understand that real life has to come first. Enjoy your free time to improve here, as I will be always glad to guide and help you all.

Sikes, welcome back after your tennis turney. Cool stuff on your runon participation and that ninja one. Keep it up, and continue to post. Btw, if you can manage to have your proving ground on ACC, it would be great, as well as sparing in ICTE or gaming days.

R'deth. Thanks for the order participation. You can have your time to other writing competition, that I am really sure, you'll enjoy them. Or perhaps, try to conquer the SA exams, or maybe..the Ninja ;)

austinrj, wow, nice work, mate! Enjoy the SA exams as well as the competitions. Don't hesitate to talk to me about your assignment or your preference.
