Hard work pays off!

Before school started, me and a couple of friends began to calculate the grades that we would need to push our cap higher hopefully to the next stage.. Sigh, the grades that were tabulated were kinda hard to reach.. Nevertheless we told ourselves to push on, to aim for the sky, at least if fallen can land on the clouds..

My case study has been a pain in the ass literally.. causing me to just sit in front of computer and library to scan through numerous readings.. The good news is hard work pays off!! The professor in charge of this specialisation topic told me i covered all the readings and they would be enough for me to do my case study.. Oh boy! She was so encouraging and told me to perserve on.. If only I got her as my supervisor..

But well, my current one is quite good just that the topic I am doing is not his specialisation. But he has been helpful so far as well.. So long as I can hit his standards and be consistent, I will do fine..

Me, being an idealist always believed that hard work pays off and the fact that you reap what you sow. But sometimes in reality, its not always the case and people tend to turn bitter. Why so? Because they feel they are entitled to it. E.g. I work had in office and hence it should be my turn to get promoted. Why him?

But someday, true colours will always show. Its not that the rewards never appear. Just that the timing is not right for them to appear. The fruits of an apple tree also need time to grow after planting in the seed and watering it.

So long as we have tried our very best, putting in our hard work, its all worth it. At least we can answer to our own self and have no regrets after all..

The lovely sunset shone upon the fields, basking it in its golden glow. The gal sitting in the wheelchair smiled feebly and turned to her companion, "isn't it lovely? I wonder how many sunsets I can look forward to seeing it?"

The companion smiled back" You will conquer the disease if you believe you can. Remember that the mind is always stronger than the body?"

"Perhaps, but what if everything has been proven wrong?"

"Well, if you never try, you will never know. No matter what happens, I will be here for you always.."

The gal smiled contently..

One week later..

In the same field, the sunset is still as lovely.. The gal was no longer in wheel chair. She was standing with her companion. She did a small dance, something she was unable to do for a long time..

" I did try and now I am freed from the disease. Finally we can be together after so long.."

In the hospital ward, the doctor and nurses were trying their last effort to rescuitate the gal.
" Its no use, she is gone.. May she rest in peace always.." The parents smiled, tears rolling down. They knew the gal would be in safe hands with her companion, her fiancee who died in a mountaineering accident 4 years back..
