Steemit Engagement Challenge S9-w2: "Easy Come,Easy go"
Good day once again to everyone, my name is oluwatimileyin and I welcome you to the season 9 of the engagement challenge.
I welcome you to my participation in the week 1 of the Engagement contest with the title: "Easy Come,Easy go"
There is a say that, "Whatever comes easy, goes easy as well " , yes , the question is what happens if we get all things that we wanted quickly without working for it, how long does it last ? And do we appreciate the idea of having it as much?
What I understand by the word "Easy Come, Easy Go" is that, anything that we possessed or own too easily will likely not sustain us for a long time, because we didn't make any sacrifice or efforts to get it, it just came to us and as a result of this, we won't know the value and whatever we achieve through it won't last either.
The word Easy come , Easy Go, is a word that works with the human psychology instincts, it is a situation where something that you get easily can also be gone easily since you didn't get any stress to acquire it in the first place, It is also common where we see people acquire success or money quickly without working for it, only just for them to misspend it and lose it all quickly.
Yes for sure, I have had this experience before, and it happened last year or so, it's an academics related activity. This happened in my second year when I took an elective course that I know is too easy to pass, although there are some courses that could help me, but are more difficult.
But In this case, i just want the pass that year and the class was easy than the other one, easily I got that grade without much effort. But still it doesn't feel good as much, the energy I'm supposed to get when I pass a course wasn't there, after seeing the result, I almost didn't feel that happy, I had wish I had gone for the other course instead because I know I would have gained more, but I just want the pass easily,and the joy also went away easily.
That's why they said "it's only what one work hard for that last long or mean much to one", when it comes to dealing with instant success that you didn't work for and it also disappears in a short time, one need not to focus on the loss, you already know you got it through the easy way, the best is just to learn from it and move on to other better activity that you work really hard for.
One also need to remember that it is normal to fail, even what you worked hard for can also fail, it's a part of life, and that is how we learn through the failure experience, so Instead of thinking on the loss, it is important to overlook it, and have the thought that you gained it the easy way after all, so it's now time to move forward and learn from the lesson to be better in the future.
The lesson from this experience is to learn that anything that easily comes, can easily go and don't put too much reliance on it, and if you are the type that find yourself lucky in that instance, you shoud learn to appreciate life, and know that anything that is worth having requires you to sacrifice, and work hard for it.
You should learn that the things that come too easily are not always true, money doesn't just flow like a river, you need to work hard for it, if you get in a position where thing's comes to you easily, always have the second thought that the thing might not last as it is way too easy, learn the importance of working hard for your money and success.
And also , learn to be humble, when you achieve something too quickly or luckily without working too hard for it, don't call others lazy for not having your level of success yet, be humble to others and believe in there hardwork and never let people feel bad for not having same luck as you do.
If we are to term this with a relationship as well, it means that we have built a relationship too quickly, and it may not have a strong foundation and can easily fall apart as well, it might just be built on lies or things that are too comfortable for the other person, and relationship built like this are majorly scam, no one is too perfect for any one, they might have a target or something they had purposely came for.
Relationships is something that require endurance and efforts, and this is not something that comes easily between two people, It takes time and understanding of each other, any relationship that is too easy should not be trusted as the relationship that you both work hard to keep are the ones that lasts, and this requires commitment and efforts from both partner.
Here is where I pen down my entry to this contest, so therefore , I would use this moment to invite @yakspeace, @Lhorgic, and @jueco to participate in this contest as well.
