Never Say Never

Either tears might be falling down your cheeks, or you are staring at thin air with your mouth agape. However, whatever feelings, you’re feeling now, don’t you agree that this video is totally inspiring?

At times, I would say, “Gosh, this is hard. I can’t do this!” Then, I would just do the things that I could do. The easy things.

In addition, when it comes to solving number problems, it’s as if I want to cut my head off. No offense but Math’s torturing me! Who discovered it, anyway? Hard things like this, makes me think to give up. To quit. To do something else that’s easy. Sometimes, I would ask myself, is there something wrong with me? But I have no answer. Oh, I don’t know why. Seriously. But whatever.

Anyhow, watching the video of Derek Redmond, persevering to finish the race, (though his hamstring tore) made me change. Not completely changed. But just changed.

It’s as if a knife stabbed me, right at my heart. It woke me up from a dream that I thought would never last. Then, I remembered a girl, who looked exactly like me, who said, “I’m glad you’re awake. You never thought how lucky you are. If you’re saying, you’re tired of everything then, you’re giving up. Look around you. The world’s beautiful, you just don’t want to see it, but you can.”

Then it occurs to me. Just like what my teacher said, that Math is just another language (a hard language). I can beat it! Not only Math, but also other things that makes my life a living hell. Giving up is not the way but beating it, is the way!

This video really made me see, that when I am determined to do this or that, I can achieve it! But, I must always remember that without the people who supports me every second of my life and without God, who is my everything, I would never, ever, ever succeed.

I know now that there’s nothing wrong with me. I am just not open. I resist doing it, but I really can do it. Giving up can be good, but at times saying those two words, makes you feel weak. Life is a struggle, so fight it!
