::Now is like the dawn of an important war.. the air is thick with tension and every breath is laboured and heavy.
IT IS ONLY A WEEK TILL J2 STARTS AFTERALL! HELLOOOO??? o.O
After a whole year of relative fun and laughter, the crazy hell that is J2 is going to start in a week's time. It's often the defining year of any JC students' career. It is the year many have claimed to be the toughest of your academic career. It's the year where many will be putting in 110% effort to succeed and their every step will be scrutinized by their current schools, by their potential universities and basically by anyone who may find a use for a bright kid like thee. Indeed many crack under the immense pressure.
The competition at the top has never relented. Ever since there was scarcity, there was competition. The limitations that bounds men's existence will always force competitors to come to blows and the finite priviliges shared by the victors. In J2 where the many assessors will finally pass their judgement, the pressure inevitably peaks. If anybody is to be somebody, they will have to work hard and work now.
True enough, people have been working. A few blog entries I came across belied the competition that lies ahead. The amazing maturity of thought and impressive workrate have opened my eyes and raised the bar yet again. I have encountered people that have similar goals and development processes to mine and are apparently even furthur in their development than me. It's like meeting your long lost twin and realizing he's better than you are in every single aspect of your being. Your sense of self-identity would have simply been shattered. Meaningless, meaningless, what is this sadistic pursuit of success but a chasing of the wind?::
