Sunday, February 3, 2008 Me, My Mother and StressHello! I'm back after a stressful fortnight!I wasn't planning to come online today. After days of staring at the computer, day and night to finish my assignment, the last thing I ever wanted to do is to be back staring at it. Well, the only link to my passion is my computer, so here I am ;) And I haven't quite forgotten my promise to be back on the 3rd! Today's entry would be the story of my life! Or rather, just a segment of it.  The last three days had been rather agonizing and I had not been able to start on my assignment, that was due on the day of my exam, for three reasons. Firstly, I fell ill and I was forced to take a break. Secondly, work took up my days and lastly, I did not know how to get started. On top of this, I had so much to read for my paper!It was my mother's prized advice that got me through the ordeal, otherwise I would have crashed. She told me to not worry or think about how much I had to do. But rather, take each task, one at a time. Or else, it would become too overwhelming and I will get nothing done. "Do the necessary," she said. "Worry about the rest later." And that's what I did! I worked on my assignments one after another. I refused to allow myself to worry about whether I can get it done on time or feel sorry for myself. I believed I would get it done. I had to sacrifice two days of sleep but I got it done eventually. Hence, today I have taken the opportunity to quote, not Socrates, Pluto or Mahatma Gandhi but rather the Gandhi (Mom's nick name) I know; My mother. Labels: Account |
