So, I am sitting here at quarter to nine in the evening, and I'm thinking, 'what can I start my blog with?'. now obviously, there are many ways of inspiring yourself, may it be a song with meaningful lyrics, or by watching a celebrity who is also this inspiring. but then I came across this quotation:
Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.
W. C. Doane
Now, this really struck me, and made me realise the absolute truth of it. And what I gained from it was this, my advice to you for today; life is going to be hard, there is no easy way out unfortunately. You have to just go with it, and going with this more challenging and rough way of life, will be incredibly rewarding in the end, though you may not see it now.
Don't take the path to gain nothing, just because this path is easier, take the more challenging path, and gain a lot.
This is probably very relevant to me, because in school, I seem to just go with the flow, I don't make an effort to fulfil my potential, I take the easy road in school, and I shouldn't. Which is why I urge you to stand out, make a difference, if your not like the rest of your peers, well hey-ho, look at it the other way round, they are not like you, take the hard road and succeed in life. You will be grateful later in life if you do.
