i grew up as an achiever because that was the demand of the house. We must excel in school and we must find time in participating with the extra curricular activities. You have to be the best student. Being second was not an option and the target is always the first spot.
Maybe that was the reason why I've been very competitive in school. For all the life I've spent not just in school but wherever I am in, people expect me to be the best. But things change and our priorities and desires are no longer the same as we grow older.
Growing up trying to be on top of the other is not just difficult but at the same time very tiresome. You have to work hard to be better than the other in order to have the top spot. working hard to succeed is good. But with the wrong intentions, it can be very deadly.
I stopped seeking for success. I stopped hunting and craving for achievements. Maybe the best reason why i stopped is because I've been there. I know what it feels...and I realized that it's not all that there is. Though I didn't stop learning and wanting for more, my experiences and achievements taught me to search for those that I truly desire and those that would make me truly happy.
