Pursuing your goals is much like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. While you ultimately seek the final outcome, you still have to work piece by piece.
Since you will spend most of your time trying to make progress, you must enjoy what you are doing in order to finish.
Take joy from the process, and use the small success to fuel your continued efforts.

Louis Minella spent a career planning every detail of the presentation of department stores. He knew everything about the business of catching the customer's eye and using the layout to maximize sales.
After thirty-one years in the business, he took nearly retirement. And then he looked for something worthwhile to do.
Louis decided to open a mailing center, where people can ship packages, buy boxes, make copies and send faxes. It was a major adjustment. "I used to be just one member of the team in an international organization, but now I'm in charge of everything."
The hands-on difference was most significant. "Before, I was dealing with group managers. I used to issue reports and orders, but I didn't personally do the work or do anything other than tell other people what to do. I'm in reality now."
He takes great joy from the daily hurdles overcome, like adjusting the hours of his star sixty-six-year-old employee to keep her content or fixing the leaking ink in the postage meter machine or figuring out how to copy a seven-hundred-page document.
"It's a different ball game ere, but it's tremendously satisfying to learn every little thing that your business needs."

If the above statement about life satisfaction is true for everybody, then with a steady stream of minor defeat decrease my life satisfaction by 22% as well? Cos as far as i can see, there's way too many studious and aggressive result-driven students that I can't feel life satisfaction at all, rather you'll hear them cursing whichever school they have attended and "how i wish...better...so on and so for" End of the day, still an unhappy person when he/she turns to bed and the cycle repeats the next day. Haiz...i admire optimistic people...
The major test for today is over and i'll be laughing if i can pass the test. Friend R, thanks for wishing my luck in my test today, i really need it to pass, haha. Just to update, this week is week 15, projects needs to be handed up by week 17 and the exams are in week 18-19, hopefully i can scrap through. . . for i'm only @ 50% for my project, haiz...
