The Fast And The Furious
Don't bother dreaming that one day life will be slow for you to comfortably keep up with. That will never happen. Ferrari will never slow down for Toyota to catch up. If you win someone because that person lax or screw up, it's never a real victory. There's no point in setting an exam just for you to do well, no point in having life easy for you. Everyone always wonder why studies is hard, look back in those kinder garden and primary school days, did we ever give 2 cents to what we studied back in those days?
I don't really know why I'm writing this. Somehow as I'm hitting 18, I feel that the days of student price are over. I feel that the days where you can rely on friends, have new friends and look forward to a new mode of education is over. My brother asked to swim and I suggested to him to find any friend staying in condo that has swimming pool. He replied me this : "You think I'm like you, still in school where I have loads of friends to ask?" It's true. Thinking back, I'm a lot luckier than him. I used to fret about why I can't win in competition, about wasting my life, about not performing in education, but think. just THINK. I'm lucky to at least have a chance to sit in exam, just have a chance to participate in competition, just a chance to experience what I should experience in my youth. So let me appreciate all this and try a bit harder, in my life. I'm gonna face the hard reality in life : to always be fighting hard for my dear life.
Look at it in canoeing. Will we ever find satisfaction to win with a mere 2 minute over 500m? Look at it in studies. Will we ever be satisfied to clinch an A while knowing shit about the topic? I don't know why I'm writing this, I just feel that we gotta start to accept the hard aspect in life. The only solution to everything is not an easy 1. We are left with none but 2 options.
To be the fast?
To be the furious?
To be the fast or the furious?
None.
