overly excited… risk taker..

recently, i am studying some topics about the web to add some skills in my portfolio. It is a nice topic which is not really new to me but i always neglect and never gave any attention. then came the time when i noticed it and somehow seems to like it. I researched and studied it by myself. Then i have seen a certification exam for this new skill i am sill acquiring. At first i don’t want to take it yet, because i know i am not yet ready. so i ignored it. as time passed i am still acquiring new knowledge and at the same time, i always noticed the exam. i am tempted to take it but i knew that if i take it, i will still fail because my skill isn’t yet enough. i knew that if i ever take it and fail, i will have to wait for another time to take it.

Then came my foolishness, i am hypnotized by the temptation. i thought that i am ready enough even though i am not yet prepared. i have taken it and as expected, i failed… horribly.

i also have the same experience in real life issues, i’ve took some risk without enough experience and in the end, i suffered..

the lesson is, never believe in the power of chance. if you aim for something, be fully prepared and never expect a fantastic life. if you go to a battle without a weapon, never expect to defeat a fully armored army. do not take an apple just because the apple is already in the plate.
