I'm a realist.
By default, being a realist means I'm neither a pessimist nor an optimist. I'm just a realist.
Some people are just plain pessimistic who thinks they are going to fail - even before they start doing anything. Like, what's the use?? Might as well don't start if you're dead set on failing.
On the total opposite end of the spectrum, there're people who are known as the optimistic people. These people, no matter how TOUGH or DIFFICULT everything is, can still put on a smile and a tough front with that "Never Say Die" attitude. These people are the motivators that will always keep you going.
Being a realist means that you try your best even though it's a no-win situation, knowing that you're not going to make it - cuz proof and evidence points to that, and not because you're afraid of failing. You try your very best and right till the very end you really have no choice but to exclaim "What's the point?!"
Being a realist also means that even though you're so piled up with work and you really feel like complaining - you hold yourself back. 'Cause, what's the point in whining? If whining is going to lessen the workload, by all means, go ahead. But in reality, whining is just a waste of time that you could have used to clear some of that pile of shitload of stuff waiting to be done.
But being a realist also meant that no matter how tough things are, you just DON'T GIVE UP. I've said it time and again, and I'll say it again. Life is never fair. And neither will it be smooth sailing. What's the point of giving up when we're almost halfway through? You say it's a waste of another 1.5 years. I'm TELLING you. Stopping now will mean you've ALREADY WASTED 1.5 years. Is it worth it? I don't know about you, but I'll rather slog through 1.5 years more than to admit that I've wasted 1.5 years.
Don't be dumb and don't be an idiot. Don't do the stupid thing and end up regretting or crying over it afterwards. No one's gonna pity you, even if you pity yourself.
Everyone's experiencing stress. Not just you. So going on and on about it aint helping anyone. Understand?
J'suis sur la rue de merde. Tous les jours, c'est merde, merde, merde et encore du merde. Tant que j'suis à l'école, tous les jours sera comme ça. Du merde. C'est la vie.
