"I'm just giving you a hard time"

-managing director to analyst across me

tortoise and the hare

Father,

just like You told me today,

let me not think about how far I have to go,

how others seem ahead of me,

or how painful it would be if I fail--


no matter how slow it would be,

always be there for me

to take that next step.

thee

on my mind,

always.

heights

sometime during junior year,

right around finals,

I was in the grad library, studying for exams.

later in the night, I noticed that someone wrote this on the side of the table:



heights by great men reached and kept

were not obtained by sudden flight

but, while their companions slept,

they were toiling upward in the night.



later found this to be an excerpt from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

I remember this giving me that extra motivation for the rest of the night,

and strengthened my quite twisted justification that it's okay to give up sleeping.
