surviving hell week round 2....

i thought hell week round 2 would be horrible (3 assignments due tomorrow and a comprehensive project documentation at the end of the week). but i think i can survive. not because i have to, but because i have motivation. thank you for being my motivation. thank you for being there for me. thank you for being who you are.

Things I live by

Things change. People change. and we get on with our lives.

As a cynic, the best expectations to have are none. Because that way, people will never under-deliver. and you'll rarely get disappointed.

Nothing drives a person more than negative emotions. The scarring effect they have on you is testament to that. And you never forget the pain. or the anger. or the hurt. Because positive emotions are fleeting. and people forget them. But hurt, hurt stays with you. always.

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange."

"What gives you despair so that you do not become arrogant, is truth."

Nobody is indispensible. Highly valuable, or difficult to replace perhaps. But definitely not indispensible. Because there'll always be someone faster / younger / cheaper / better / smarter.

There is what we call the impossible triangle - fast, cheap and good. You definitely can get 1 out of 3. 2 out of 3 more often than not is highly possible. But all 3? Nobody can give you all 3. Unless there's a catch (meaning that in the end you're probably going to get only 2 of them or even worse, 1).
