Hubris
a word of Greek origins. means excessive pride, presumption, arrogance, etc. (you get the idea)
it is said that hubris is a fault so great that it is the root of the transgressors downfall in the ancient Greek myths. remember all those women and men who fell to the mighty Gods?
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. i hope.
we are always so busy in life. there is always some other task at hand. some other thing we need to do, another goal to accomplish before adding another victory to our growing list.
life is like an onion. erm, maybe less painful. uhh, a rainbow jelly maybe? lolx
*shrug* it is just fact that no one really cares to look more than skin deep. you wanna know something? it is okay to be blunt, even crude or rude. cos apparantly, so long it gets the message across, its fine. all that matters is the end result, who bleeding cares what happens in the middle. how many times do we really look at someone's triumph and actually think about the amount of work that they put in?
i am not going to cry. today (okay, yesterday.. fine.) i remembered something that was buried so deep in the past.
it has been long since i last got such a telling-off. notice that my reaction to it did not change despite the 4 years. it doesn't exactly spur me on to prove the speaker wrong, to try harder. sorry. all i feel is demotivated (*rolls eyes* what? can't i? she's not the only one who feels demotivated, though i am on the losing end while she's not).
hey, don't get me wrong, it is not like i am throwing in the towel now. (can't do) just a point that its a little detrimental, you know?
what do you know, i used to go for piano classes as well remember? circular scoldings weekly. same thing over and over again. i remember her saying "what's the use in crying?" more than the act of it. she's right, and i know it.
if i held on for so long, i do not believe that i cannot take this for another 3 weeks *yawn* call me impertinent if you want. call me rude or pity my parents if you want. whatever. can't be anything worse than what i used to get. (on another note, what am i supposed to say when you tell me how crappy i am anyway? look like i am attending someone's funeral or cry? geez..)
*thinking* though getting another maths teacher would of course be much more easier.
there we have it. my fatal weakness =) feeling a little blond right now.. lolx.
