I think that those that achieve great things must first have achieved small things. These give them the momentum to achieve something bigger. Totally understand what Genie was saying when she said “What’s the point in trying hard when no matter how hard you try you are just going get the same thing anyway?” I said that we should always try our hardest because you don’t ever want to say that you could have done better if you had tried harder.
It’s just so much harder to try when you have tried really hard and then you get kicked in the balls. Ah. I have my Asian exam tomorrow and I just found out that I got 74% for my essay that I stressed over for 3 weeks. I can’t blame anyone. I thought I did it really well, so even with full effort and plenty of time I still didn’t get what I was aiming for. Now. I have to study for that exam. If I had’ve got my mark back earlier THAN THE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM I think I’d be more motivated to study. Right now I feel kind of useless.
Actually if I’d got a better mark I would feel more motivated.
