It’s a question almost everyone asks themselves.
Living your own life in this free born generation and focusing on what truly matters is hard, but once you do, nothing can stop you from listening to your inner child. Living your life is a task so difficult, it has never been attempted before especially for students. Students go through a lot of pressure and experience so many challenges, but success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm and effort. No student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her. It is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
Just one day when you wake up, then boom! You choose life. Every morning when you wake up, you choose joy, happiness, positivity, and pain to feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices. Choose to feel life, not to deny your humanity but embrace it. If you believe in yourself and have dedication, pride and never quit, you will be a winner. The price of victory is how tough it gets but so are the rewards. No matter how tough it gets, never give up then because failure makes us stronger and leads to greater rewards. Let us remember that one book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world. Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree long time ago, no matter what people tell you, don’t back down to it, words and ideas can change the world. All you need is the plan, the roadmap and the courage to press on your destination.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you will know when you find it. Don’t listen to other’s opinions about your life and your goals, follow your heart, it will always lead you to your perfect destination. Instead of looking at the hundred reasons to quit, look at the thousand reasons not to give up. It is not about perfect, it is about effort and when you bring that effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens and that’s how change occurs. Do not worry if your age mates are ahead of you. It is mostly failure that makes us strong, however, some give up so quickly without trying harder. Your time to shine will come as long as you have faith in yourself. Nobody said it was easy, they only promised it will be worth it. It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you don’t stop.
As for Students, there are so many challenges at Universities, since everyone is from different backgrounds and what not. Trying to abandon our nature is mostly our weakest human point, forgetting and longing to be who and who. Abandoning our human self and killing our innocent souls. I understand life is not easy and very challenging but that does not make it an end of all the beautiful things. You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do, comes from what you think. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails and explore dream discover. Push harder than yesterday if you want a different tomorrow. Don’t be afraid to start a brand new opportunity to rebuild what you truly want. Be somebody nobody thought you could be and the only time you should look back is to see how far you have come.
