It's alright if you live a life without success, but never live one with regrets.
Just feel that these days things are getting more and more saturated in content that I am actually overflowing with stress, that i practically exhume it.
Gotta work hard for whatever you want. The biggest barrier in life is self. And most problems start from self. If something like homework is a problem, then it's the self causing the problem as he can't finish fast enough or don't feel like doing. If tiredness is a problem, it's the person's fault for not sleeping enough and so on.
Patience, cultivation of skills is something to be done. I do believe in my own opinion that certain things do require a basal amount of skills and familiarity, as well as what people term as "talent".
However, I really need to learn patience. It's something so easily missed yet essential for even getting to certain heights you always dreamed of. Things to achieve are always goals set by the person themselves. If you ever benchmarked yourself with a goal with the use of a comparison of someone else's abilities, then you most probably have already made an unrealistic goal that would probably cause you to falter in your faith and persistence to ever even improve on what you're doing.
Exertion, is never the right way to get things done, or improve on things. This basically stem out of the word itself as being impatience, overworking and so on.
Work hard, but work smart.
A car has an engine, and it is powered by the gasoline (gas). A car may look good on the outside, but if the engine is badly conditioned or maintained, or on the verge of breaking down, forcing more gas into it will not cause it to work faster/better at all. In fact, you risk breaking it down. A singer(car outlook), with his vocal chords(engine), and breath support(gas), fits the analogy of the car. So what if the singer looks really great, when his vocal chords are badly trained and so on, producing bad tones. So what if he had a powerful diaphragm to be able to pump/push more air through the vocal chords? The vocal chords will just break down sooner or later like the engine of the car.
Work on your engine, before adding more gas, bringing you past your limits and soar to the next level.
