A Matter of Excellence

Few years ago, I started to venture in the world of graduate studies, and that decision is one of the sweetest ones that I made.

Currently, I am working with a very tedious assignment. I spent so many days and nights to accomplish a very monumental endeavor -- write a paper rich in thoughts and sophistication. After laborious effort, I finally finished it yesterday. However, upon consultation with my professor, I have to break what I have accomplished and come up with a fresh one.

Instead of being disheartened, I feel more challenged and enthusiastic  to improve my craft. I always say "If better is possible, good is not enough." Certainly, now is the time that good is never enough. My exposure to challenges and adventures ingrained in me the passion I need to pursue excellence.

This experience made me appreciate the perks of being a writer: to witness the birth, death, and resurrection of ideas. There were so many times that I took a deep sigh on crossroads, and I was tempted to quit; yet the fate of every individual is never placed in a cul-de-sac. There will always be a rainbow, a light, and a box of cake. Fighting a battle makes ordinary people extraordinary. Writing and rewriting give us more room for improvement. It will always be a lovely process. 

Now, I have to go back to my assignment with a smile.
