Today is Saturday and I had my Social Arts midterm exam. I didn't do great 'cause I didn't study. But I doubt that I would fail. But that's really not the most interesting part of my day.
So here's the thing, I transferred to a college in my hometown and it's a lot less privileged than my former university but I have met a few people who have the capacity to go in to the same university I went to, one of whom is a guy who I will call in this entry as Mr. I-Want-It-All.
Mr. I-Want-It-All is actually good-looking. He's got the brains too. He's not my type though because aside from he's young, he's too much of a goody-goody and a loud-mouth. He's got organizations left and right and people are actually stupid enough to put him in-charge.
Why do I call them stupid if even I think that he's smart?
Well that's because him being smart does not necessarily mean that he's a good leader.
He's a worthless leader. It's because he keeps on taking on jobs that he can't do anymore. He likes to... "have it all", which is a stupid idea. No one can have it all. You prioritize and when you have had a lot of things on your hands already, you don't take on more responsibility. But he does. And he thinks that he's mature.
So anyway. We had a group meeting and he started crying like a wuss in front of the group because he says he can't take it anymore. "Everyone keeps on depending on me. I have an event tonight and another meeting later on . I haven't taken a single one of my exams and I want to get back together with my ex-girlfriend but I can't because we broke up in the first place because too many people were depending on me. But I want to get back together with her on the 14th." And I was just sitting there, pretending to be reviewing, holding my head down, biting my lip and trying not to laugh. It was pathetic. He actually cried like a little girl.
Come on! Does he really have to mention that he wants to get back with his ex? How is that even our problem? How does that even relate to our group problem? How does any of his problems our problems?
I'm sorry Mr. I-Want-It-All. You really just have to grow up and realize that in life you can't have it all. You can't pursue all things at the same time and think that you can do great at all of them. A successful life is made up of sacrifices. You have one specific concrete doable goal. And if that's done then you can go on and pursue another one specific concrete doable goal.
To be a success, you have to prioritize. The things that you want to do should be arranged according to importance so that in a situation where you have to choose which you have to do first then you would know what to do. Instead of feeling like you're in a pinch and you wouldn't have to waste time in deciding. Remember that time spent is time wasted.
You're the only one who is accepting all of these responsibilities. No one has forced you to accept any of it and that you could decline anytime. Do not make any excuses. It just makes you look pathetic.
