A levels are hard.
it is an apt description to begin with because we are struggling hard to achieve success. there are times that we feel like faltering, but hands of support just pushes us to continuously work hard. no matter how many times that we fall, our friends will be around to continuously give words of advice and always be there to cheer us up.
be that as it may, we need to learn why we fall. we need to improve. only through improvement can we gain confidence. only through it that we are able to continue with our lives. only through it that we are able to fight through any obstacles and persevere on.
by saying that you are not able to do it is not the right way. it is understandable if you say it once in a while. nonetheless, it should not be the case when you constantly say it. i feel that it is simply nothing more than running away from your problems. if you have problems, face it, speak about what you do not understand.
i met an old lady who always sat on the chair at the void deck. initially, when my dad brought me to school occasionally, she was always sitting there, early in the morning. afternoon she would also be there. i did not really liked her then. however, there was once when my brother and i were walking past the void deck, he said hi to her. i simply just followed suit since then, trying to greet her now and then. it was through that period that i got to know more about her, her problems, her dilemma, certain aspects of her.
today, i was on my way back home when i saw her. i sat down and chatted with her for a while. she was saying that in the present, degree is important. she could not walk for long distances because her legs would feel pain since she was old. she is unable to understand and learn cantonese because she is old. undoubtedly, there are certain things that you are not able to do when one ages. however, if that is the case, shouldn't one just go ahead and do it regardless of the problems you face?
if you are going to constantly be stopped by saying that you cannot do this, cannot do that because you are old, or maybe you dont know how to do it, i would think that is mere excuses. humans are in fact the superior race out of all species. and we are born to be capable of doing anything that our primates cannot. our intelligence is beyond our imagination. but if we are only to let our thoughts and beliefs hold us down, we would be able to succeed, but with difficulty.
thus, this is not to implore you to change or anything, but to have trust and faith in yourself. having faith and trust are just one aspect that you should have. there are many other aspects like working hard in an appropriate way, just to name one. but, explore. remember the passage? we explore so that we are able to be nutured, to be matured and to grow.
