Our ideals resemble the stars, which illuminate the night. No one will ever be able to touch them. But the men who, like sailors on the ocean, take them for guides, will undoubtedly reach their goal.
-Carl Schurz
As I stood on that podium ready to receive my diploma many wonderful moments came to mind, and with a deep breath I thought...one more step...
Can you recall the moment when you thought 'This is the climax of my career/life'?
If you can, when was that?
Let me tell you one thing: if your life has truly reached its climax then what awaits you is the cruel reality of your realization that you will not live a happy life. At least not until you realize each mountaintop is but the top of one of many mountains you will explore in life. It all depends on your desire to reach a new goal, to achieve something different every time.
Smile with each achievement, but to not let it cloud your mind to make you think you're at your best and that's all there is to it. Don't accept life just as it is, for life will definitely not accept you just as you are.
Strive, fight, grow, be the best you can be, rest, and once again...strive, fight, grow, to be the best that you can ever be.
Lesson learned: In order to make my life worthwhile I will do my best to graduate from life itself with honors.
