I realised that I might be one of the very littlest few, who felt contended with the results we've gotten for our SYF. The rest were disappointed (for those who cared) and maybe even discouraged because we did not achieve our goal, not that anyone went hysterical or bawled their eyes out in the public or anything else close to that effect.
We might have done our best but isn't it all too superficial, and I might add, desultory, if we're just using that to project our results? Those who have gotten Gold may have worked harder, put in more effort and have more practice sessions than us. To put it realistically (and simply), their performances are just better than ours.
Shouldn't we be proud of ourselves that we had done our best, no matter what the outcome is? Wouldn't it be more disastrous if any glitch, unexpected or not, was to happen?
Even though it made me feel a bit guilty for not even feeling half as disappointed as the rest, it does not mean that I have not put in my best effort. I know for the fact that some people, our vice chairman for instance, do not like how little I am contributing to the team. But what more do you want from a person who was supposed to drag a plant across the stage and paint faces with arrows and random whatnot? I know what I've done, I do not feel that my effort is in anyway, inferior as compared to the others' and am certain that I've fulfilled my role.
Oh, and thanks Dinesh for his "GOOOO DOROTHY!!!" or at least that's what I heard when the principal announced to the school that we've gotten Silver for our drama.
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle
Sometimes you going to have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
