Am done with the exam. But still quite a long way to go to get out of this institute and obtain my blablabla degree in civil engineering; some more subjects and the last final assignment. Horee!
Once my friends and I got into a conversation about how much time we would spend to finish our study here in BITCH (Bandung Institute of Technology Cii Huuiii), hahahah! And further[worse] is how that be to compare with others who got out of this 'PLAYGROUND' sooner than us, uuhh!
Hey, there was a time where mattering this had been so much frustrating. Got me! But...later on I found out that there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
One might say, "I spent more than five years at this university just to get a bit of paper!" It is true; but one shouldn't miss the fact that along those years he also met a lot of people, learned a lot about himself (this is one most important thing), and had a lot of experiences that he otherwise wouldn't have had. What really matters and important is not the title put right after his name but the journey he took. That one could be me, heheh! But this is it; I'm living my life with persistence.
When the tide comes in, it comes in a bit and goes out a bit, but gradually it makes its way in. When a tree grows, it loses leaves from time to time, and each time it grows a few extra to compensate for the losses. The net result is that the tree gets bigger but it doesn't do without some loss and struggle. Precession, precession, precession! Things work on this planet with setbacks as the part of the plan of things.
Now, what I might get in pursuing my goal is of lesser importance.
The real question is, "What will I become?"
So the evaluation is;
Actually, I also talked about this with a friend after class. This is what he said,
"Lima tahun atau enam tahun di sini bukan masalah. Tapi apa nilai plus yang bisa kita buat selama waktu itu. Itu nya..."
Well, we get there, Bro! All kidding aside, at the time he said that, I thought a lot. Trying to figure out what we actually had been doing and what else we could gain along the remaining time before the goal is attained.
We will generally be tested in some way before achieving something of value. Let's experience it with happiness in the spirit of persistence.
Time to take a break now.
Happy weekend! God bless!

Successful people are not that brilliant or talented or unique. They simply have a grasp of the way things work and realise that their own progress will be in accordance with the principles that govern everything else in this universe.

The real question is, "What will I become?"
So the evaluation is;
"How much have I been learning?"
"How much have I been growing along the way?"
"How (has it been) along the way?"
"What have I learnt in the last twelve months? What can I do this year that I couldn't do last year?"

And.. BINGO! I think we meant what we say that we need to develop a lot of things before the goal is at hand. Along the last few months, we've been so cooperative supporting each other in a real positive way, develop greater courage and determination, refine our powers of persuasion, develop our stamina, achieve greater self-confidence, stronger bounding among friends, more weekend outs, more staying up late with books, gateaway plans, and so much more. And at the top of that, WE ARE HAPPY! Honestly, I wouldn't have experienced that if I finished my study any sooner. Yep, honestly :)
We will generally be tested in some way before achieving something of value. Let's experience it with happiness in the spirit of persistence.
