realization

accepting the truth can be hard. especially when you use to be something, or somebody, someplace, somewhere. i'm saying this can occur to a person, or an institution, who used to be famous in something.

how should i put this in a more gentle way?

hmm...lets just put it this way, school / institution/ university used to be very popular, because the students are stellar in a way, with the ideas and personality, they rocked the field that they're studying, and people from other schools respect them because of what they can do. they never fail to surprise people and make them go wow!

but generations come and go, the seniors that was smart and cool in all ways graduated, and the new batch of juniors are different, in a way less stellar as their seniors. however, they were always reminded by them how great they were, and how these juniors have to protect and continue the legacy that they have left behind.

in some ways this is to remind the juniors to always give their best in whatever they do, be it in competitions or attending workshop, but somehow it serves as a hallucination to believe that they are indeed stellar when the real truth is, they're not. its sad, i know, like having a pair of rock star parents but the only child cant sing/dance.

the saddest part wouldn't be this, its that the people/juniors who doesn't realize this at all and goes on believing that they are still the best. reality hurts, i know, but i would prefer to realize it sooner than when people tell it to my face that, hey, you don't rock anymore, wake up!

i feel sometimes its better to realize whats going on and see whats wrong yourself, instead of trying too pretend and ignore the facts. there's always a way to correct it. never mind if you're not as smart/brainy as your senior, but you definitely can create another era of legacy, right?

i hope they realize this soon enough.

that's all. muaks!
