Endurance

A junior once asked me, ‘does being in triple science increase your chances in getting one of the top five posts?’

I hastily said no, without giving much thought. Now that I think about it, I could have given a better answer.

Does being in triple science increase your chances in getting one of the top five posts? Three fifth of the top 5 post are triple science people this year. This means majority of the top 5 post are triple science people, despite the fact that triple science people are minority in the level.

Being in triple science indeed increases your chances of a top 5 post. However, the main reason these people have the top 5 post, these people are successful is not because they are in triple science. The main reason is that they have the virtues, the qualities, the spirit never to give up. Even when faced with extreme difficulties, they push themselves harder to test their limits. This is why they are one of the top 5. This is why they are in triple science. This is why every single good thing on earth is happening to them.

Even if you think that you cannot get the top five posts, don’t give up. It is not about the post, it is about the qualities in you. Those succumb under difficulties, who think it is hopeless and gives up easily are the truly weak ones.

Same goes for parades. Many fall out during parade just because they think that they are going to faint. Do you really think you are powerful enough to faint yet? Those people that faint are those that have parade 6 hours long. Our pathetic parades are not more than 2 hours long. Do you think making yourself faint is that simple?

If you fall out, you will be known as the coward, who does not dare to try, that gives up once faced with difficulties. If you were to try, even if you faint, you will be known as the one that tried his best and lasted till the very end. Who do you want to be?

I hope the right people will read this.
