Don't Ever Give Up
Sunday, April 10, 2011 @
My results were kinda a setback for me.
All I could think of was what went wrong?

I feel like a laughing joke because its like a hardworking guy who ends up getting average results.
People who doesn't work as hard scores better. But that's either because they are talented and thinks 2 steps ahead of me. Overall, there's this laughing joke feeling.

I am upset.
I am frustrated.
But what's done is done.
An improvement is way better than a de-provement.
I will just look forward and continue to bring better efforts.
This time I will aim higher and make sure I get them.

Went out with Jeff, JS, Keith, YJ and Nicole to see the design show.
One positive thing I heard was that as long as you get above 3.3 gpa there's a possibility to get into University. Another way is to display yr portfolio.

I really questioned myself... Am I in the right course?
I feel that I can do both IAD and VSC. Maybe more of VSC.
but like so many people mentioned to me, I lack the confidence.
I get very indecisive and goes a whole round before reaching a decision.
That's what I have to change.
Be decisive and be daring. In architecture, mistakes can be possible solutions.

Shine in the spotlight
Earlier they mentioned, wanting to shine and stand out among the rest.
I think that's a good point. When you display your work, you want people to be impressed.
That should be the attitude, to be proud of your work, it's a good feeling.
It sounds competitive but competitive in a good way, not to look down on people but to want to give it your best.
That's what I have to change.
To want to be good and impressive. When people doubt you, prove them wrong. Goddamn prove them wrong.

Work hard. Play hard. But be disciplined.
I got it from my mum earlier this week.
She nagged me for complaining and whining about work. She questioned me if I was going to carry that attitude out to work. I was really shocked. I looked back and I realized she was right.
I asked for this.
I told her I wanted to work but I end up complaining about it.
I didn't put in my best at work and did it half-heartedly.
I need to change my attitude. I need to be disciplined at work. If I can finish work on time, I am sure I can find time for my own enjoyment.
Another mindset is to work hard and play hard.
I need to be more organised in timetable. Don't always say I can't make it cause of work.
If I find the time, I can also have fun. Having fun is always important. You will die if you work all the way and not have fun.

So yeah.
Just look forward and keep working hard. When I meet obstacles, get over them. Yeah.
Good night.
