let your heart hold fast

2 weeks of an interesting purgatory-like state and it's hitting me that if i were more competent and more exam-smart, i could have a potentially easy life.

however, it's been proven by not just one but several authorities that my intelligence was only good till the level of a junior college student. and thereafter, every year in the past decade has been spent with knowledge flaking off me like horrible dandruff.

how to catch up and get where i want to get without sacrificing my stomach, sleep and social life? please let me have the discipline, good luck and perseverence to get through this!

let your heart hold fast
for this too shall pass
like the high tides take the sand
