Where should I start. Okay, so growing up, I figured that I have learnt stuff that is not 100% correct; At least in my opinion and I had a change in perspective.
Before we get into the "vacation" theory, let's take a look on what I used to think. A while ago, I always thought there is only a winner and loser. Essentially, if I win, you lose; and if I lose, you win. This leads me to depression because I hate losing, and I always had this mindset of "Wow, dang I am not the best in my class, or Shit I don't have a job yet, so I am the loser". Things started to change now, what makes me happy is the "vacation" theory. Say, If I am successful and my peers aren't, I have to pay for my peers to go on a vacation with me. I mean NO THANKS, I don't want to pay for my friends to go to a vacation. Hell no! Instead, I want everyone to be successful, so they can pay for their wonderful vacation with me. This changes my perspective because no one taught me that, and it makes me happier. Actually Happier.
Now comes another theory, I have seen a lot of people stressing out about not getting a job or complaining that they can’t be asked applying a job anymore because they are busy, and they felt satisfied just getting a “job”. Complacency kills right? You should never be satisfied, you should keep trying, if you stop shooting, you can never score a goal. Sometimes I thought to myself “Man starting to find a job since May and I haven’t got one! At least a job that I really wanted!” “Why don’t I just accept a random as job and be like fuck it! I got a job”. Well, Hope is the reason I don’t stop. In terms of referencing music industries, I truly believe that Ed Sheeran wouldn’t get famous if he didn’t release “Thinking out Loud” or Justin Bieber wouldn’t be famous if he stopped and be like, this is stupid! and never released “Baby”. This is the sort of mentality I have right now. Hope. Maybe all I need is one more application, one phone call, one interview away from what I really wanted. That’s the reason why I NEVER stop. I just wanted to see if this theory is true, if there actually is a light at the end of the tunnel. Tell you what, I am feeling great, a calm state right now. Hope is such an important thing omg. Honestly, my rule is no one can fucking complain, if you can’t say you worked or tried harder than me.
One more thing I’ve realised is the importance of my peers. At first, I was having this no friend rule, it was great I am not gonna lie. I have gotten my own time to change. But right now! I realized the irrelevance of getting to know people that already done it. I don’t want to know the CEO of Fonterra. I want to get to know my peers. They are the future leaders, they are the friendship that everyone should cherish right now. The people that rise up with you are your best network.
It’s honestly easily said than done. I mean the best thing right now is that I am young, and I have nothing to lose. I really don’t. But man, I just believe in luck, God and hope. Don’t really know how to end this but BYE.
Thanks Scooter.
