Focus.

I was talking to some of my Scotchie friends, who were telling me about all the duxes and academic prizes that they have at their school. It makes me wonder why we don’t have such a great emphasis on academic excellence as such. Actually, I guess it’s better that they don’t publicise who’s the top at each subject, or else we’d all be eating each other alive. But then I realise that just because you do well at my school, it doesn’t mean you’re any good compared to the rest of the state. There are some epic people out there, the likes of which I have never seen amongst my year level at school. And the scary thing is, we’ll be competing against them.

Okay, so any of you who know me well would know that I don’t really have that vicious competitive streak in me, except with myself. How can I control what other people do? Others are always going to be one step ahead of me, and thus it is up to me to make sure that I keep ahead of them too. Only I have the power to change my path. Haha. You see, all that I can do is study, work and focus the best that I can and make sure there are no gaps in my understanding. I have to work diligently starting from now. I have to make good use of my time. I must not procrastinate or waste precious minutes. There is so much to do, so much to conquer and so little time.

So, as of today, I am dedicating myself to this cause. Of course, I’ll still have time to enjoy myself and bum around (since it is the holidays), but now, as all of you readers are witness to, I promise to work my hardest for this next year. Starting from now.

And with that, I think I’m going to go and read my English books.
