Excited

I'll be adding another entry to the "list of firsts" tomorrow. It's my first proper job experience, and indubitably a milestone towards adulthood.

I know we've always faced expectations from ourselves and other people. As far as I am concerned, I believe that self-discipline is the only way a person can excel in life. Whether or not you succeed is independent of the expectations others have of you, but the ones you have for yourself. Nobody should tell you how well you should do. If you don't want to, I don't believe anyone can make you. External pressure can only make you more determined at best, but ultimately it is you who have to act out to achieve. That is why when we sometimes see people not achieving their potentials, we get exasperated. Nothing wrong with that - it's just, these people have to find their own way to shine, if they ever want to.

Oh, by the way, I am super excited for my first day at work tomorrow :)
