Guilt

i have been awfully lazy. we think to ourselves of great excuses of why we have a reason to slack when we actually do not. the reasons include:

  1. we have done so much already and deserve some rest (having a 6 day week, had a full day of ENT lectures)
  2. we need to rest so that we can work harder later
  3. we need to be at our best (after a rest) to study or work hard
  4. .....
and then after when we slack we feel the guilt. or at least i do, because the reasons are not substantial enough to cover the lack of work i have accomplished. And then fear and guilt enters the scene.
  • fear that we will not become capable enough for the future. especially for a few of us who will have lives at stake in our jobs
  • fear that we will not be able to compete in a dog eat dog world
  • guilt that time gone is never going to come back
  • guilt that you have not lived up to the expectations of the many people suppporting you all the way
life is about pushing on, even when you are weary, resting only when you really need to.
concentrate on 1 thing at a time. it's the key to success: that's what many successful people said, including dad. this is especially so for people like me who totally cant multitask.
