I'm still feeling some after effects upon receiving my final semester results, ultimately how this semester turns out will determine if i graduate or not. Fortunately, results were great (4 distinctions and 1 credit), it's great to have a set of results that reflects the effort you've put in, because saying you've studied hard without results to show at the end is like telling your boss "I've made profit, but i can't show it to you" that sorta thing.
Well, a little history, to those who knows me will tell you that i'm a realist on a good day, probably a pessimist on a bad (that's all you need to know in regards to this). I believe that when you're like that, you prepare for the worst outcome, and with every worst outcome there is a worst-worst outcome. Preparing yourself for the worst is practical, but although it serves that purpose indirectly it's a shield to protect from disappointment, being pragmatic if you will.
If you were to look at my past results going back from Standard 2 all the way up to Semester 5 of University, you would see i'm a very consistent student, my grades have never deviate much despite the level of difficulty increasing. That can be interpreted as good and bad. Good is that i've been consistent, bad would mean i have not improved over the years. So which is it? How do we know what we're doing is keeping us on track?
The difficulty is always in persevering through the difficult times, as there is nothing much to persevere in good times (perhaps some of us don't enjoy it enough though). The idea is to keep pushing forward, regardless of the type of situation you are in as you never know when it ends (hypothetically), don't leave room for chance. Leaving room for a chance, is a 50% opportunity for things to go against you (assuming things were going your way and you got complacent) and nothing to lose if things were already bad.
Some people believe in being a self-made man, but i'm not having much of it because it's a given. We of course have to understandably work-hard to achieve something, but God alters our route and sometimes we don't get what we want or what we think we deserve. Many years, I've asked that question but as grew up I stopped asking, because I realized i never moved on by dwelling on it.
When you've held on long enough, the success you were looking out for was just around the corner and don't give up till it comes. Even though it might be right at the end.
