Chapter 218:
at 21:36
I find that in life, achievements are never only the tangibles.
In fact, the really important ones never really are tangible.
& the tangibles are often in a compromising situation - The more you achieve, the less you have people celebrating with.
(Of course, there are exceptional brilliant ones who can achieve it, but there'll come a point where it becomes compromising, just that the point differs from people to people, based on capabilities.)
So I think it's a personal choice in life.
I never felt the exceptional rush/push to prove to anyone I can do something, even to myself.
'cause you know what? I'm just plain arrogant - I know I can.
And that's just it, 'cause I find no meaning giving up things I like to do for things I don't like, just to prove that I am smart/able or whatever shit.
Of course, I am glad I did well enough to get a good enough rank point that can get me to all courses I desire, even better ones which I don't want. (I personally deem it cool, man.)
But ask me if I regret not having all As, or whatever perfect result, it's a resounding no.
My biggest pride through this all, is the improvement I made from prelims, and not the absolute result I got.
& I'm happy I have a bunch of cool people to fall back on and talk nonsense to.
(I very much miss the few team mates!)
And to know that, they'll always be there for me.
And truly, that's my biggest gain out of my tertiary education - People.
Mine start with a P, and frankly speaking, yours can start with A, end with A, and are As all over. Congratulations, but that's not what I am looking at.
;)
And double happiness to those who have both. You are my idols, then. ;)
.
And to those not as happy, regret does you little help, but optimism (carefully weighted, of course!) propels you on.
A million regrets will never turn back the clock; it only serves to retard your current speed, and lose more time.
So why not pull yourself together, and make choices that are most justified in your situations and not cause future regrets. :)
