this can be good, as in:

you may not know, and I might have forgotten
I could not even understand how to do Ampere's Law for very simple electric circuit at high school
I got zero for my physics test
not bad enough?
I was the only one who got zero
that does not mean I could not win a Physics competition
I showed you
I did

I was not that science people at high school,
But I am the first in my city to represent my country in International scale physics olympiad
I did

+++

Unfortunately, at one time, the good things turn bad enough, yields:

I may have done better than you did at last year's olympiad
that does not mean I would outreach you since then

I may have received more knowledge than you did
meet more great people
solve more problems
still, does not mean I must be better than those of you who did not.

+++

At this situation, I could forget easily
changes come and go in our life

the only constant in life
it is the change itself

you may reach a point
however, life is continuous
there is no such things as ultimate point
we do not know what lies ahead

I want the medal
I want to reach the top
I got it
and I got too carried away
I did not realize
there lies beyond it
greater pressure
greater responsibility
bigger expectation
and eventually
more severe wounds

I miss the way I used to be
so passionate, so much joy and love in what I did
so restless, never hesitate to ask things I did not understand
I was aware I was not clever enough
But I was proud that I did not give up
I wished for everyone's success
get inspired by those great people

along with the achievements I did
I add more and more pride to myself
pressure of you have to be this and do that not like that,be like him or her and defeat him or her because you are supposed to be so.
I am tired of this things
I am not happy with this
I hate myself like this

Sitting here at FoE McDonald's
I contemplate this
and have it written on this blog
this is a commitment to myself
to once again, change

this past few months had been the hardest in my life
failures over failures
regrets
pain
I need to help myself

Yes I was a physics olympiad medalist and I could not do quick calculation over my head!!
Yes I was a scholarship student and I made only 70 in my ma1505 mid term!!
So many yes blah blah and blah blah !!
you might think
shit, are you for real?
Yes, that's what I am
I am not the genius
I am not capable of many things
I do not know many things
I do not understand too many things

I say it loud like I used to do:
But I can do everything in Christ which strengthen me

there are so many things to repair and start over
there are so many things to learn and review

And even louder:
My duty is to do what is possible and let God do the impossible

It is good to know that life changes anytime, for good
Let this be my time :)

God bless us

The only constant in life
