10 more days to an ending I'm so looking forward to...
10 more days to a finished battle after 3 long years...
10 more days to a landing after a long educational flight..
10 more days to finish this part of the marathon of life...
Just a mere 10 more days, press on! Don't lose focus!
But
this isn't an end. There is still more to come, more success, more failures and
more obstacles. Life, as many has described, is a marathon till your last
day. In each part of the marathon of life, you have up slopes and down hills. Different
people will pass by you throughout the race. Some leaves a lasting impression
on you, while some run with you and cheer you on. Some people outshine and
raced past you, while others drag you down. Sometimes if you slow down, you can
be trampled on until you find the sufficient strength to carry on. Life
always throws the unexpected at you. You never know what it has installed for
you till it becomes the present or past. One can't exactly plan life out. One
can't exactly plan for the future. Nobody knows what the future brings.
So why are we preparing so much for the future when we don't know what is going to happen? Why are we taking an uncountable amount of tests and examinations when we don't know what we are going to be or do in the future? Th tremendous amount of effort, the extremity of the obstacles that we go through, the buckets of tears and sweat poured out in this process may all end up in an overwhelming disappointment. The greater the amount of hare work we put in, the more disappointed we will be when failure comes crashing straight into you.
Sure, the positive planners will argue that these obstacles gear you up for the future. But what if what you are doing and learning presently isn't want you really want and nothing part of your future? Won't you be doing everything for nothing? But are placed in a position where you cannot not do it. It's part of the system, part of the way of life, part of the route that you have regrettably started on and there's no turning back now. The only thing you could do is to continue with it and try to fall in love with what you are doing, or start afresh after this part of the marathon is over, making your race of life a much longer one.
10 days to a significant end, but is it part of the future?
