~i will not bow~

There comes a point in every person's life where you realize that enough is enough. I've had it. I'm sick of being mediocre and sick of being stuck in this useless cycle of "nothingness". Today marked the first day of my new semester. Our business stats lecturer, Mr. Derek shocked us all today by giving us basically a 2 hour 'life lesson'.

It was really intriguing because I found myself questioning myself all the way. He stated a very interesting point, "Go back today, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself to stop lying to yourself". I don't know but it really struck a chord with me. I mean I've always thought that I was okay, that I would be able to get by just as I am. I mean, in essence I haven't changed since form 5. So far, I've been getting by but just barely.

Well, after today and much soul searching over the short break I sorta realize that life isn't made easy. Everyone in history had to fight for their place in this world. Rome wasn't built in a day, but everyone remembers who tried to build it. Cesar, Cladius, Titus to name a few. Many remember the builders of Rome, and of course Rome itself. I have to build my own Rome, its gonna take tons of time and a lot of effort. But hopefully, I'll be remembered in the future, like the builders of Rome...I want my name embedded in STONE.
