Never be discouraged. Never Give Up.
Accounting, I know, is not my forte. Through this study process, I thoroughly experienced the difference between having “talent” in something vs. not. When a person has “talent” in something, he/she only needs to spend minimal time on something and he/she gets it, and gets it well. When a person does not have “talent” in something, no matter how hard one tries, it just does not seem to click, or click as well or as quickly. The key differentiator is in the amount of time and effort.
Just like how it only takes me minimal effort to practice and play a piano piece well, it is 100x harder for me to accomplish the same level of “achievement” in accounting.
However, having talent versus not does not determine one’s abilities. 有天份與沒天並不定斷一個人的能力.It only determines whether or not something is a bigger challenge vs. an easier route. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!
I CAN do this and I am willing to take this big challenge and give it the 100x effort needed. For me, it has always been “all or nothing” – go big or go home! Time to go ALL IN. As of now, I’m not clear of the failing zone (I know this), but I can’t be discouraged. If I don’t get through it this time around… actually, let’s not go there for now… Let’s hope that the amount of time I have to study for this is enough to send me clear of the failing zone!
