On being mediocre
http://markmanson.net/being-average#.coagcd:9qZw

The above article mentions how life is like a bell curve. I think it is rather accurate description of reality, albeit some people gets exceptional at more things than some. I think that I am like the part of the 60% of the bell curve that lies as average. Maybe, I'm average at studying, slightly better at understanding Mathematical concept, getting better at Dota, but extremely bad at communications. While I don't have anything exceptional, but I hope one day I am able be really good at something. That's why I work hard when I think I like something. However, time does not spare us. For example, I tried to be good at bridge, but it takes lots of time and effort to be truly good at it. Considering university is rather taxing, especially so when my modules require me to do lots of learning of technology outside of class, I can only be this good.

Often, I feel apologetic towards the seniors that have put in much effort in trying to make us good at Contract Bridge. Whether is it Elicia and Benjamin back in high school or now SJ and Langston in my current bridge club, every time I stopped going for bridge, the remorse I feel is real. Then again, life is hard to get by without truly moving on from somethings. Even though very often, I relate strangers to people in the past, but deep down inside, I know it is futile and it is pointless in trying to remember these people. So, I moved on, though still fond of those memories.
