Sleepless nights, borrowed time, and priceless effort doesn’t give you an “assured remark”, it doesn’t guarantee that you will get paid with a great price. The worth of something you want to achieve isn’t measured by these sacrifices; although sometimes, your critics would give credit to it. Yes, it seemed unfair knowing that you’ve invested so much on something and you will gain nothing, but that’s just it, you don’t get something for free, no matter how much time and money you’ve spent, or even if you put your health at risk.
I’m not complaining, I’m just saying simply because, it’s what my mind has been dwelling on since this morning. And I realize that, it’s a matter of aiming for the best, that maybe, just maybe, it’s what our mentors would always want us to do, though each of them (even us, students), have our own ways of dealing with the idea of “aiming for the best” or even understanding things that has something to do with it. Ways that are oftentimes unfathomable to some people, especially to students who couldn’t seem to relate or understand his/her mentor’s level or way of thinking.
Anyway, as I was saying, aiming for the best isn’t more concerned about the output you can give, but the output’s quality. It isn’t just enough that we comply what is required. What I’m trying to say is that, if someone tells you to make a kite, the task doesn’t end the moment you finish constructing the kite, nor does it mean that you’ve already reach the task’s finish line. Absolutely, no! You have to make the kite fly!
Furthermore, I get the idea that we sometimes tend to settle for what we could only do now for some reasons like we ran out of time or it’s just too hard to make the best out of something. So I came to thinking that, if only we are not overly concerned on the idea of failing as a hindrance to our success and take the bright side of it instead, then we could have done better. The failures would even give room for enhancement and perseverance.
After all, we all have our own ways of understanding things.
