I was just having a conversation with a friend the other day. It has become conscious to me that how far we go in life is largely dependent on how much we want it.
Of course, there are all sorts of situations that may hinder or elevate your chances of reaching your desired goal. External forces like choices and actions of others are usually not within our control and more often than not, they do affect our personal lives to even the smallest extent.
However, people like myself can't afford to have other people make our plans sour. because i have not other choice. CORRECTION. because i have no other choice that i would settle for. For example, I have a thing (a big thing) against office jobs. Nothing against them, just that it's not the kind of profession i'm looking for. Therefore, I need to find a less conventional source of income upon graduation from polytechnic. fyi, it's not a 'want' or a 'would like to-situation'.. it's a NEED.
How far we go in life depends on how much we want it. Our need to achieve a certain something has a direct relationship with how much effort we exert, which usually reflects in the end result.
Well, that's just something to think about! To all our O-Level friends, i'm not going to wish you good luck because i sincerely hope you're not counting on luck to make the grade. I hope your results reflect the time and effort you put into your school work and that you get a deserving mark. been there, done that- you'll survive! (:
