Of setting a goal if you're going to turn tail and quit at the first signs of gray sky.




Everything has challenges
Love
Education
Faith
Sports
Games
Projects.




If you went into everyone of them expecting blue skies you'd end up with a whole lot of disappointment, go into everything with 110 percent and realize that life itself is a hardship as well as a blessing.




Some people's lives may seem better then yours, hell maybe they are.. but who's worth admiring more in that situation, the person whom complained about how so and so is so lucky.. or the person whom ignored it and bettered themselves.




Don't turn back from the hardships, instead turn around after you've burst through it and laugh.




There are going to be people that tell you that you can't do it, and they're are going to be slumps where you want to agree with your critics.. It takes true courage to stay on the path you've chosen, altering it because of hardship and criticism only limits you.

This is basically win

I really think people need to live by this more often. Everyone gets so down if something goes wrong.

I like your mindset.

True, thank you.
I should show this to a few of my friends.

I was expecting something like, 'what's the point...of life'

All the FML crowd should read this blog and take good heed of KevMo's wise words.

^ Most likely what I would say

Your whole post was completely true, KevinM, need I say more?

Blog of the week, it deserves it.
This is so true. Unfortunately, I'm one of the idiots who keeps on saying: But it's too hard :(.

For a good side, I'm not one who thinks that everything will easy and perfect.

BLOG OF THE WEEK!

Thanks Kevin. I'm in the middle of studying for an exam in med school right now, and you have no idea how much you just helped.

I kinda have this mindset but I tend to turn back during my progress.

But, I'm going to try my hardest now to go through it. Mainly college and my relationship.

I sympathize with you completely. Are you aiming for a specialty?

I'm glad you guys all felt so strongly about this :).

Love and luck to you all ^_^.
Great thread. I wish I could say I wasn't envious of others, but then I'd be a hypocrite. :)

It's always nice to see a revival that reminds people of KevinM's greatness.

In all seriousness, this was a great blog. :3

Now's as good a time as any.

Funnily enough, Sylvia committed suicide a while after she found out her husband was cheating on her.

This... is so true. I remember I had to wash dishes for my parents, and I got big money for my allowance after that. ^^
Oh, I had to wash super-dirty ones too.
I'm glad I made that decision.
