Lesson Learned

Finally, the semester is about to end. 

This sem has been a roller coaster of emotions ranging from the good, to the bad to the ugly. I've never experienced a rockier sem from acads to social life, everything was just going up and down, left and right! But then again, with all the mixed emotions and jumbled feelings comes WISDOM AND LEARNING.  One of the greatest lessons I learned for this entire sem is something I didn't pick up within the four corners of the classroom but rather I picked it up while doing something extra curricular (if you know what I mean ;-P ). 

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" -- Eleanor Roosevelt

It is actually an old quote and I thought before I understood what it meant but after this sem, I REALLY got its point. You see, you can rant, bitch and whine all you want about how someone doesn't treat you right or about how someone should treat you but unless you do something to stop it then you're just letting it happen. You're not trying to change anything. You may think that "oh eventually, things will change.",  well I have news for you, IT WON'T, UNLESS YOU FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE. I mean if they believe that nothing is wrong and that you're just taking it in then everything will stay the same but if they see that there is something wrong, that something is not as effective as it should be then most probably there will be changes. Also, think of it this way, Inferiority and Superiority is a matter of perspective. If you see yourself as oppressed or abused then that's what you are but if you hold your head up high, refuse to take the crap that they give you then you're not inferior nor abused. 

Everything here all goes back to you. Will you just stay there and let shit happen and just clean it up later? Or will you tell those people that "HEY, I'm not a freaking toilet! Go find some other place to throw your shit at"....
