No, today i'm not going to write abt that. But having read this
thread on hwz, it makes me feel i'm fortunate enough to not be in that
plight.
Have u ever been in a situation that u've nv came across? Perhaps putting urself in a situation that u do not want to be?
Just turn back the time to a few yrs ago, when we were in the army,
the BMT, where we would be pushing ourselves doing physical training
which we wouldnt imagine doing
Ok, let's quote an example. U taking the taxi. I believe most of us,
maybe not for all but i'm guilty to admit, do u really give a damn how
the uncle will bring u to the destination? As long as he get u to the
place, period? Or oh so this is the way hmmm and the next time u'd know
how to get back
When u are looking for a job, do u look for something that u like,
easy, but little chance of promotion or something that is real
challenging, involves alot of routines that u dont enjoy, but giving
some chance of promotion?
Here, i would liken u to the passenger in the taxi, sitting in the
comfort zone, would u be actively participating in the way u get to ur
destination, or sit back, relax and get to ur destination?
And yes, after beating 2 rounds of the bush, i'm coming to the point: comfort zone.
Take revision, sometimes, we revise and take a break, we go back and
take a break again. And when we reach a point we will say ok, that's it
for today.
Or maybe when we are jogging, we run for 15mins and u feel pain in ur legs. And u will say, ok, that's it for today.
So do u think in the future, ur boss tells u: i fucking want this
and that to be done by today! Will u do and do till a point and tell
urself, 'ok, that's it for today'?
Coming to this, i will make another comparison. I will say life is
like the taxi journey, we can either get out of our comfort zone to
reach our destination, probably ur degree if u are studying, a job if u
are a graduate, a flat or baby if u are married or probably death for
the rest of us.
Or u can be a couch potato, relax, take 5 and stare at ur phone reading ur frens' fb status ;)
And what i have to say; ok, that's it for today
