medicine is bitter

He conquers who endures. ~Persius

It's not too early for a reflection. How far we have reached, how much we have achieved, how big we have grown...

Our friends are the irresistible parameters. It is not uncommon to compare yourself with your collegues. While some people just cannot accept the idea of comparing ourselves with each other for the argument that it will only create unnecessary tension between people, it does have the good side of competition.

It should be a win-win situation in the first place. This is the game that nobody should lose. If you win, the only loser is the fear or laziness or anything bad within you. After all, you should only be competing with your own self. This will save us from all the social diseases like inferiority, jealousy, etcetera...

Do not disappoint our own potentials. They are here inside ourselves. Bear with the pain, give it a little bit more push and the time will come when you can be proud of yourself.
