A little whisper in the dark

The culmination of three year's worth of design projects, sketches, and plans are finally zipped up into my not-so-little A2 size portfolio to be submitted later on for judging by potential Landscape Design companies. There's more people than slots to go around, and so let's see who gets what.

Being a little better vocationally qualified than most is a two edged sword, I wonder if the lecturers decide I'm better used in more hands-on and menial jobs, which is the negative side, or, on the other side of the coin, being better qualified for those means I might be able to get a choice assignment should I fail to get my desired LD slot.

A silver lining in every cloud, so they say. So far not much trouble finding one, no matter how svelte it is. Perhaps I've fallen so low, there had been no way to go but up. Collapsing would've been rather awful for such a young age. All around me there are people that cannot cope with failure be it in love work or play, yet put up a false front and grin about it. Probably I have a knack in finding that littlest lining of silver, and convincing myself that there something good in it.

In failure, you learn a lesson. Those who fail to learn from defeat are doomed to repeat it.
In disappointment, you learn not to expect too much.
Live life to the fullest.
Live with no regrets.
Don't rue what could've should've would've been
Just make it right the next time around.
