Egad. It's been a while since I post D:
Anyway, I remember that my Boarding Master once said that Junior College is the time to push yourself and stretch yourself to your maximum limits (if you have any at the first place). Yesterday can be an epitome to such stretching: Slept for 4.5 hours, abstained from eating solid food for 33 hours, ran 5km and forced 30 assisted pull-ups amid the hunger pangs. Surprisingly, I survived! I wasn't that cranky (I hope) as I still forced myself to help interviewing my juniors, to deliver a speech for Gavel, and even to tutor some underprivileged children well into the nightfall (:
Why am I pushing myself so far? What keeps me going? Frankly speaking, I have no idea. I felt very tired today, and opted to slack around browsing through random websites; putting off my homework for tomorrow. Then, my boarding master came knocking, inspecting our room cleanliness. He decided that our bathroom condition was unacceptable --- thus I spent 15 minutes brushing and washing the cubicle. That good fifteen minutes sparked something inside me, something that I really don't understand. I just did it without complaining, without thinking about it, and --- wait for it --- I had motivation to do my homework afterwards :D That's why I have the time to update my blog now :) Anyway I guess what I've read before is true: The hardest part in anything is to fathom about it.
Let me end with a bold aspiration: Shall these two hands bring glory to my country.
and let me ask myself often --- Will whatever I am doing get me closer to my aspiration?
Truly Indonesia's Finest,
