It's funny how we set goals only to end up disappointing ourselves when we don't achieve them despite the effort we put in.
We tell ourselves: This time around, we'll succeed. So we stay up all night trying to finish that essay just so we can hand it in on time. We force ourselves to stay awake during lectures so we can understand what's being taught. And we revise all through the night just so we can do well during supervisions.
Oh yes, we do try. And yet, more often than not, we fail to achieve the goals we set ourselves. And then we think: We're probably better off without them in the first place. No goals to achieve means no stress. No goals to achieve means no disappointment.
But the real question is: Will we be content with such mediocrity?
