It is in man's human nature to never be satisfied. Leaves you to wonder what the grade "satisfactory" really means. It's down the last week before exams, and I've finally learnt how to write up a journal account that actually balances, draw up the ledgers, and produce a trial balance. Sounds impressive, you would want to applaud me for my achievement, considering how terrible my lecturer was at the start, I had to figure pretty much all of that out on my own. So what does that statement implicitly mean? My friends who have had better lecturers and a better start, are on to financial statement analysis, corporate governance, NPV, CVP...and I realised I can't write a proper financial statement without error (Lene, good luck with accting). So in a desperate attempt to be on par, I've been practising all day, and the days to come. And once I reach that stage, I bet I'll realise there's more!!! Suffice to say that the same probably goes for the rest of my subjects.
It is in man's human nature to never be satisfied. I pray for good marks, I pray for strength to endure the long nights. I have the good marks, I have the strength to endure the long nights. Am I satisfied? I try not to think about it. I try not to think about what I do not have. My friend tells me honours are based on percentile rather than good marks, which now makes sense, because if you get a distinction, but everyone else gets a high distinction...And then there's the other extreme.
Satisfaction. So simple yet to complex. So before you start to rave about how satisfied you are, think again. Are you really?
