Permanent Consistency

Hi guys, day 2 of exam period and i know i should be studying and all that, but this is a one time thing that i think i should post up, so that i can study in peace.

Title : Permanent Consistency

Yes, you read it right, that's what i felt like writing now, due to personal experience last night here, i guess i need a lesson of it too right now.

Have you ever realise that you can start something off really really well, but in the end they just end up jumbled while you just hope that everything ends up quickly?

You aren't alone xD I feel that a lot too, and i think i know why

*Based on my case*

When i get something working, i make sure i GET IT WORKING, as in putting in 100% effort into it, when i start, i ensure that i do all in all that i can get or reach, and therefore it often ends up as a good start.

As i work on, little by little, the effort feel tiring and wearing if i *think* i'm not getting enough of it, and therefore i'll chip off the effort, one small piece by another, and in the end, i'll just end up with something below my own expectancy, sad, depress and therefore hope that it all gets away.

Yup, mom was right when she mentioned that i usually start off stuff great, but usually make up a mess that she'll have to clear for me >< It took a while to realise that for myself @@

People often mention that, a good start is nearly half a success, but they never mentioned, *provided you keep it all up* It's not about how fast you start at the starting line, but how you keep your speed and cross the finishing line, proudly.

I thought of this very weird example, but i'm just gonna put it down =P

There was this time when Edward and Kelvin were classmates in school, they often make noise around and run around amok disturbing the peace in class. One day, the teacher was having a bad day, and was officially pissed off by their usual act. *Taadaa.....* There goes punishment for Edward and Kelvin.

Both of them were sent outside of the class. The teacher gave them both a pencil, and it wasn't for writing. They were required to have a competition, to see who can lift the pencil for a longer time period, the person who lost would be required to stand outside of class for the whole day.

Right after the teacher finished his sentence, Edward quickly raised the pencil with both his hand, up sky high, as high as he could've stretch. Kelvin on the other hand, merely lift the pencil from this elbow upwards and barely reached his shoulder. The teacher patted Edward's head for the good starting effort, smiled, and then went back to class.

3 minutes....

5 minutes....

5 minutes and 30 seconds...

Without a second look, the teacher asked Kelvin to come in, Edward was completely defeated. Kelvin even came in smiling, without much of being tired even.

- End of story -

Lesson of story : Never ever do something you can't keep yourself doing on, and, never try to be teacher's pet unless you can keep it up too xD (teachers always know well)

I'll try my best too to remember this lesson, something which i still lack so much in learning. Nevertheless, i'm gonna start, and the only way to keep it going for long is to keep a light heart at all time, no stress, and smile =3

Thought of a lot of elaborations just now and etc, but i can't remember, but maybe that'll serve as some food for thought for the moment for everyone =)

Okie then, i'll be going to keep up my normal studying time, all the best everyone in your finals, and as Marshy and Kimmy always reminds me, smile heaps =D=D

Much much love,
Ollie
