My ted talk
Greetings to the future me,
Exam week has commenced and we have started off strong. The dragon of statistics has been slain within a single blow. A true feat. A temporary respite was earned before the onslaught: three back to back beasts (two within the same hours).
SAVE YOUR TeARS FOR ANOTHE DAY! stuck my head. I use to save good songs so that they don't lose their effect, but I 've learned that this method is not dependable. Songs will lose their effect overtime anyway, so binge BINGE. LOOP THAT SHT FOREVER.
Here is a speech to the younglings:
Hello everyone. Time really flies doesn't it? It felt like yesterday I was just a freshman. Damn..... BRO. Its a bittersweet moment right now (sweet & sour, Polynesian?). Its joy but also sadness. One door closes and another one opens. Life moves on, it always does. When we're young, everything seems so overwhelming.... SO NEW. The unknown seems so scary. What will the future hold for me? How will I figure everything out? Every failure feels like the end of the world and every victory like a conquered mountain. Truth is... our lives has barely even begun. Nothing has ended.... we've only just started.
Try new things and fail. Fail over and over. then try again. We're young, this is how we'll learn. The master has failed more times than the student has even attempted. Seek rejection, be unapologetically you (not my words, heard this somewhere). But always remember to build good habits. We're young, these habits will stick for life. Go to the gym or find something active. Pickup some new hobbies, learn an instrument, try new foods. Find yourself.
No matter where you choose to go or do or feel or become. Give it 1000%. Don't let anyone OUT WORK you. If you play, then play to win. CRUSH THEM! Put forth so much effort that people wish their kids could have half the effort you have. Become a master at your craft, the Kobe of knitting for example. Despite all this, always remember if you are no longer enjoying life then you are doing something wrong. Why live a life you don't enjoy? The actual fuq? LOL. Don't EVER waste your life chasing goals you don't want anything to do with. Life is all you have. Now holdup a second, this is not to say that life won't be difficult or uncomfortable. OF COURSE IT WILL. It will suck at times, but we suffer in the moment to reap the rewards of the future.
Truthfully, if you can enjoy life through both the storm and the sunshine all the same, then you've won. Life is yours for the taking. The ability to enjoy life regardless of the situation IS ENGLIGHTENMENT; 10,000 monks fought to achieve this state of mind. Remarkable. In summary, try -> fail -> try again but harder -> become the best -> take it to the next level -> win or lose , enjoy it the whole way.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
