Drops of Dust

Heyu! Yes you! Why so down and depressed? That time of the year again huh. Exams got you dredging the floor of depression? Cmon! Its not that bad. I mean think about it, pass or fail, you'll still have a warm bed and family to come back to. Spare a thought for those who don't. Esp in this penetrating cold...

about this exam thing, why is it that we have begun to settle for mediocrity? How, on God's green earth, have we become acquainted with the demoralising feeling of accepting failure? What ever happened to the spirit of excellecnce? Why have we replaced offence with defence? Why?

It must change. And now.

I happen to be what is close to a hopeless exam situation, but i refuse, point blank to, as Dylan Thomas put it, '..go gently into that good night.' I have decided that offence is the strategy i will assume in the fight against exams. Too long, have i suffered at the hands of the backward mentally of, '50% is all i need.'

So to Mr Will Shakespeare: it is most definitely more fulfilling to 'take arms against a sea of troubles,' than to, 'suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.'

final inspiration?

'Do not give up hope, nor despair, for you will be succesful, if you are true in your faith'
Quran, Surah Nisa [i forget exact ayah number. will check it up].
