Somewhere over the rainbow

Dear friends,



If you are sad or depressed, do not read further because this blog is composed in my anger. Once again, please do not read if you are in the mood of "one more push I would kill myself".



We are all borned in certain conditions such as country, time, family... Therefore we are all different from each other. Each man has his own fingerprint, each woman has her own CNV. It clearly shows us that we are, always, in this world not capable of doing certain things. May be you can not lift up a tree, or work out a math problem, or memorize a biology chapter... To me it's ok. Nobody can do everything on earth, even Da Vinci. When you can not do something, you are sad, depressed. That is when the "you can do it" comes in.



Yes, just like God says, knock and the doors will open. However I guess he said that because he had never done that. In fact we all know that there is a time that wherever you knock, the f&%*king door would not open. You scream, yell, or even use a bulldoser try to knock out the door, but it will not open. My friend, when it happens, please look at God and say: "You lie". That's when you know you can't do it.



What is my point here? My point is that there is completely no problem for you not being able to do certain things, yet ok for you to ignore that you can not do it. In this life, sometimes you have to know what exactly your limits are. Ignoring your limits is the worst thing ever in life. It just likes you are walking on the string without knowing how to keep balance. Most of the time, lying to people is bad, but seriosly it is always not good when you lie to yourself.



You can not try to get over your limits if you do not know what they are. Understanding what you limits are, working on that and may be, I say may be, you can get over it. That's how Newton did it, and Craig Venter is doing it. Ignoring you limits and try to keep working on it is different. It's just like Don Quixote fight against the windmill. No matter how hard you try to hit the windmill, it's not the monster, you can not kill it. Moreover, sometimes, the limits are so hard to overcome, you just have to give it up. My friends there is nothing worse than you are trying to work on math without knowing any aspect of math after 10 years. You waste your time, and others too. What's the purpose of keep doing math without knowing what you are working on. And why are you doing that? Is that because you think when you learn math people think you are smart? Or is that because when you are trying to apply to Med School that people assume you are awesome? My friends, trust me, they do not give a crap about wtf are you doing. Today in this world, people look at your car more than you degree. So, try your bests to have enough money to buy a Ferrari, and people will respect you, I wont seriously.



Your life is a broad life, there is not such narrow path that you have to go. If the path that you chose was so hard to walk, choose another one. There is nothing wrong with it. All the path will take you to Rome, just walk the one that you can. That means when your path is so hard, you might want to consider about giving up. That's ok, it's part of life

Everything you have written is the complete opposite of what is usually said. Most people think that when that when their path in life is hard, they need to put forth more effort. People do not believe in accepting limits, that is why they like the phrase "the sky is the limit."It is always said that one should never give up. That is why perseverance and dedication are highly valued. One should never take the easy road, for it is the challenge of the harder road that enriches life with meaning. As you had said, these thoughts are based on your anger and frustration. So I hope that this is not how you feel about this subject in general.
