I’ve always believed that with enough time, and the will to persevere, anything can be accomplished. At work today, my limitations were made clear to me. I had the desire to succeed, but I suppose I didn’t have the time. I’ve always thought of myself as an intelligent individual. I never believed that there was anything out there I couldn’t learn how to do if given enough time to do so. Truthfully, I still don’t. I guess that might be slightly unrealistic though. The key word here is “time,” a concept that humanity is constantly at war with. We, as humans, only have a lifetime to experience everything we want to experience. Today, I realized that isn’t enough. After working on this project for 2 hours, I was forced to (I didn’t want to) concede defeat. I know it might seem silly to get upset over something so minute, but in an unexpected way it challenged my personal beliefs and that’s something no one likes dealing with. I guess my 23-year-old mind just can’t compete with 20 years of experience and intuition… This is going to be tough medicine to swallow.
