He was standing right on the edge of the slope…
He was a little closer to the inside of the rocks. But it seemed like he would fall if he took a few more steps, if he went a little further. Of course he had no such intention… He was watching outside, he would come and walk around this slope from time to time… Not all the time, but from time to time…
As he got closer to the edge of the slope, his feet seemed to be planted even more firmly on the ground…. After watching around from there for a long time, he would want to go back. And he would be so clear and certain that he wanted to go back. He would decide right on the edge of the slope. Just a little while before…
When he was a student at school, he would almost pass his classes… With a 49.5 grade point average…
When he was playing a match, he would win with a last-minute goal… He would wait for the last-minute ball, pray…
When he was going to get married, he could only find that rental house at the last minute… He didn’t have much savings either, and saving would be a waste to him anyway. His brother had supported him a short while before the wedding... They had arranged their white goods together.
However;
A person is tested by what they have won.
A person is tested by what they have not won.
A person is also tested by what they will never win...
Winning or not winning was not the issue. This was already a result and the results were not under our control... Good thing it wasn't anyway...
What we did on the way to winning was what made us win.
Some people would lose while thinking they won,
Some people would achieve real success amidst the losses.
Sometimes we experience such disappointments... We can't realize it at that moment... We can't analyze the event, the situation, but later, after years have passed, we say, "It's a good thing I didn't do that!" But we have so much effort and struggle in life, do we win when we say, "I did my best, I showed my direction, I stood my ground, I didn't wander around..."?
If I am sure about what I want to do, I don't need to get a opinionated grade from anyone anyway.
When I was preparing for exams at school, if 50 points were enough for me to pass that course, if I was studying for a 55-point course, it meant I was very close to the edge... It meant my feet were not firmly on the ground... I couldn't even get a 50, I was right on the edge, it was 49.5 and the opinionated grade completed my performance.
The opinionated grade takes us down that path for a while...
For example, our Zeliha was the person who took the most leave at work. When she had an hour of work to do, she wouldn't be in the office for half a day. She would leave early and come back late during lunch breaks. When the shift started in the morning, it was her breakfast time. Therefore, her shift would start half an hour after ours. She was the only person whose year-end performance was below the in-company performance. She hadn't received a warning at the request of her boss. She had continued working with a opinionated grade, but that was until this year. When the company started downsizing, she was the first to be discarded.
Her indiscipline was incompatible with the company. Her behavior was incompatible with the company's goals. That's why she had a short-term companionship with the company.
Performances that we can pass with an opinionated grade can only take us on short-term journeys.
When setting off on a long journey, a person should have calculated the amount of gas he will put in the car, he should have had a good sleep, he should have sat in that driver's seat with his eyes open. We can go that journey alive, but if my eyes close on the road, or if I run out of gas in the countryside, how can I reach my destination then?
Wandering along the coasts wears us out, though...
If a person is thinking of a long journey for good, he should definitely not have wandered around the borders...
