Self Esteem Boost Part 2 : The Magic of Passion

" Practice makes perfect "

I have heard this quotes a lot. But does this true ? Does that work on everybody ? Do you do that because you have to do that or because you want to ? If you want to, what make you want to do it ?

" I've done my best but i guess it just not worth it "

I remember saying this all the time everytime i didn't reach my mom's expectation. But is that true that i've done enough ?

I used to cry because i thought i can't do it anymore. I went back and cried to mama, 

"Mama, I can't do this, everyone else is so much better than me. I can't even doodles. "

My mom she didn't say anything, she just hugged me. I was giving up. For me, i've used up all my energy for this thing. I wanted to stop. Stop from all this pain. Then I realized something, Someone who quit is worst than a murderer. Once I quit, I forgot all the thing that make me choose it from the start. I will disappoint everyone who cheer me when me when I first start my class. I used to be so jealous to see my cousins who learn by books. 

Then I started to work harder than before, My human figure used to so terrible. Simply say I can only draw basic shapes like triangles and squares. Until I day, I realized some changes in me. Im starting to draw faces. Real faces. 

Mama told me last time that I can't draw human. And I told her, "Yes, I can' draw faces. "

Thinking back, i do design because I'm passionate about it. I've always know that I can't draw. Even from high school. I may not know how to draw, but passion drive to the correct path, passion drive me learn how to draw. And passion also drive me to become a designer. 

" Well, this sucks ! "

I said it all the time when Im under pressure, but do I really mean ? Yes hell I do. But does that make me want to quit ? Last time, yes. Now, you throw me a whole junks of random work, I'll figure it out. I won't give up on this. 

" When you're good at it, you'll love it ! "

Isn't that true ? Think about it :) We didn't like to do something because we didn't know how to do it. when you're in this situation. You're the one and the only one who can decide. Either you choose to learn, or you choose to abandoned it and go on with the only thing you know how to do. If you choose to abandon it, have you push yourself to the limits ? If you choose to learn, don't you learn something new, something outside of your comfort zone ? Sometimes, all we need is just a little push. 

" The most painful thing is learning "

Thats the learning process. It will be the most painful experience things you'll ever experience and every single time you learn, every single time also you will hurt. But don't you think its worth it ? The only different is every learning process is the duration of the pain. But all of the learning experience have 1 thing in common. 

" They all have the same ending if you manage you pull it off. "
