Yesterday, while going through some random TedEd Videos and Quint videos on YouTube, I stumbled across this speech by Michelle Obama. And what she said struck true. It was nothing big. But it was something that hit me at the right place.
Her message was simple : It isn’t the moments of victory that define us. It is the moments that lead up to it. It is the moments that we deal with the struggle. That is when we realise who we are.
So, today I decided to struggle. To get back on my feet and not just lie around lazily hoping this overload of assignments and an end sem next week looming over me would somehow magically go away. Having to write a final semester exam only after 2 and a half months after getting into a college seems unfair to me, but again sometimes struggling with these unfair expectations can make us extraordinary. As someone once said, if you want something you never had, you have to work harder than you ever did.
