Get up..

It has been a rather disappointing week.. tho it did end off with a slight bright tick on it.. got more data- one of my experiments showed EXACTLY what we were looking for.. showing the cellular lethality of ultra short ranged radiation. Beautiful...

I figured out that whilst its painful, life is never fair to us at all.. just guess that we have to dust off and get up again.. I was at soccer training today with the kids.. and when one of the kids got taken down by another tackle, his dad at the sidelines called out "GET UP! come on! get up!". It astounded me.. rather than tending to his injured son, he told him to get up and fight back for the ball.. maybe thats what I need.. someone to yell at me to get back right up.. and for me to yell at myself to get up and continue fighting..

People may not reward excellence.. but why do it then? I think I've found the reason:

"We are what we repeatedly do.. and thus, excellence is not an act, but rather a habit"
-Aristotle

So then being immaculate in my work or efforts should be a habit rather than a one off.. it should not be dependent on any condition.

It has been a hard bashing this week.. but slowly and surely I'll get up and fight harder..
