result and effort
well...i have always been talking abt how result is not proportional to the effort put in..be it in studies...or in anything in life...and i seriously think that it's very true...and having spent 3 yrs in NUS didn't prove me wrong so far...
but that doesn't mean you should not put in effort...of coz u still must...coz it's a way to answer to yourself...whether or not the result turned out to be good or bad...above or below expectations...in cases when it turned out good...then u can go abt saying "well..i put in my fair share of effort...so i definitely deserve it and should be proud of myself." as for cases when it didn't turn out too well...u still can say "hmm...i have done what i should...this time wrong it's too bad...but i m sure my effort will pay off in the future...jiayou!" yep...what i m trying to say...is that nobody asks u to study...how much time u wanna spend mugging depends entirely on you...and when u think it's enough...it WILL of course be enough...coz there's no such thing as "i have FINISHED my revision"...only "i have had ENOUGH revision on that"...
anyway...studies aside...coming back to the effort-result thingy...or rather effort-effect might be a better way to put it...i really think that it's similar...
i know that a thousand words i said wun be able to match the effect of a simple gesture of concern from someone else...yay...but that doesn't deprive me from putting in the effort i deem fit to express the concern that i feel for thee...be it wanted or not...
i can't pretty much control it either...but i have been trying to rationalise it as much as possible...coz the standpoint is different...and the appropriate course of action is also different...
but i know that if 1000 words aint enough...i would say 2000 words...in fact, i would do anything i deem fit as a friend just to put a smile on thy face...
wat a fool...
