I am not supposed to be wasting my time here right now. I have a trial paper in less than 2 days and I have so much to read up with so little time left but I'm just really not in the mood to study right now. So I decided to come here and spend a little time writing (typing) something to motivate myself and remind myself of how badly I want to be successful in life. I'll try making this short.
No, this trial exam doesn't determine my future, neither will the actual exam. All I need is to get 2 passes to enter my degree and so really, this exam doesn't really matter to me at all. But I think having the right attitude and discipline is really important. In 18 years and 10 months of my life, I feel like I never really did give my all in studying. Which, actually is, the most important aspect. I'm not saying that the other aspects aren't important. It definitely is, it's important to learn to work in a team, to learn to be a leader, to learn to speak in front of thousands, but never forget about education.
I like learning, acquiring new knowledge, about anything at all, though some things really do bore me, but in general, I like learning. Though, I never like exam. (I doubt anyone does) Mainly because I'm a procrastinator, and my self-discipline level is 1, or less than that. I'm the kind of person that, if I know that there's exam next week, it makes me feel like I have more reason to enjoy the time I have for these 3-4 days and put my all in the remaining days. But in the remaining days, I'll get distracted by other things and procrastinate anyway. I tried being the kind that revise and studies a little everyday so I have plenty of time to study whatever I want and not just the 'important' parts. But it's really hard to stay consistent. Therefore, I'm back to my initial point, attitude and discipline is important.
My goal for the next few years will be to be excel in my studies, like maybe getting a scholarship, getting an offer to one of the top universities, which could really help my parents lessen their burden and also help my future. I want to be successful in life. I want to be rich enough to help, to fight, and do the right thing. It's useless to have the right mindset, to have the right attitude, to have the most generous heart, to be the kindest in the world, but have no power, no money, no energy, no capability, to even help yourself, not to say the people around you, your country, the world.
I know that all these are just words, because I might not achieve what I thought I would, and all these might just be crap in the end. People tend to overestimate themselves, and have bigger dreams than what they're capable of. It's true. And I doubt myself sometimes, and think that my dreams are maybe a little too far from where I am, and unlikely feasible. Then I'll tell myself that maybe it's time to wake up and get real. But frankly, those thoughts are bullshit.
One's capability is limitless. Human grows. If you're not strong enough, train. If you're not smart enough, study. If it doesn't work, try again. If it still doesn't work, find an alternative. There's always a way, there's always a solution. Nothing really is impossible. I'm sure you've seen people achieving something you've never once thought they will. You've came across miracle. You've seen people making the impossible, possible. You might think that those are the few people that got lucky and what are the chances it'll be you. I'm not going to lie to you and say that if you try you'll definitely make it, because there are people who've not achieve their goal no matter how hard or how many times they tried. But think about it, by putting in effort, giving your all, or just trying, it gives you at least a certain percentage of succeeding, By thinking that it will never be you, and not putting any effort at all, the chance of succeeding is zero.
People are going to laugh at you, judge you, but words won't kill you if you don't let them. There's really nothing to lose. Do what you really want to do, do what you think you could do, do what you think is right to do. Live a life you won't regret. Give all you have, so at least, at the end of the day, you know you tried.
