When I was in 8th grade, my school had these hosts of posters hanging in the hall.
One of them says this:
"Shoot for the Moon; even if you miss you will land among the stars."
As an overachiever at the time, this quote spoke to me.
I didn't fully comprehend it then, though.
If I may brag: when I was younger, I can shoot for the moon with one eyes closed.
But as I got older, and my academic passion declined,
this quote taught me about excellence in spirit.
Sure, I might not be able to get that perfect score anymore.
I might not write the best story or be the number 1 in what I do.
But, if I just try my best-est, and I give it my all,
the result will not betray me.
All our labor will not be in vain.
Anyway, that's how I interpret that quote,
and I still do live by it in some ways until today :)

ps: phew what a day! but my flow of calm & peace is back!
