Gotta muster every ounce of strength, and pour all the energy into a write-up...
An eventful first day of school for JR3, and this time, with no great expectations set beforehand, I nevertheless find myself very much enthused this school year. Though as of the moment I feel energy-sapped, there’s this feeling that I find hard to explain that is pushing me to my limits. Passion or whatever it is, it’s great to have this ineffable energy.
It’s safe to say I began this brand new journey on the right footing. But I don’t want to be filled with revelry all the way, because I have been accustomed to fast starts, only to falter in the end. This time, I am optimistically pining that this time, I will finish what I have started. I am confident that I have done a solid job on the tasks at hand, hoping that the momentum will propel me to greater heights.
I am really thankful to the Lord for blessing me with wonderful people around me, and they have made their presence felt around me. I hope I can return the favor someday, if not today, and may my bonds with them be strengthened and not severed. I am faithful for that.
I decided to rewrite and share the notes from Atty. Chua’s “lecture,” which was definitely insightful. He shared realities – the difficulty of helping other people, the value of comprehension, and the truth that logical reasoning is quintessential for success, especially in lawyering (you must not make the judges think, and logic says that people agree with the ones whom they understand).
My favorite tidbit from his lecture? Different persons, different purposes. One has to know his strength, and follow it through, improving it accordingly. We do not develop our weaknesses, but our strengths. Thus, people do not pay for mediocrity, they pay for the best. That’s why we have to strive for the best. We must not be average.
In the end, I realize that there’s a trick that I have to learn in order to function optimally: I must master the complicated balancing act of work, play, and rest. As of now, everything’s a play to me, believing that there is no rest for the wickedly exuberant. However, I’ll soon pay the consequences of trespassing beyond the borders of temperance if I do not practice moderation as soon as possible. I’m aware that sooner or later my body will falter. How soon is now?
Still, worries aside. Seize the day! It’s morning already, 1:26 AM. And I continue to amaze myself, wondering where I find my supply of energy…
Nevertheless, the ennui continues at 9:42 AM
