Struggle
I just finished studying some new stuff we learned in my Edo Pictoral class a few minutes ago. The class basically deals with classical wood block prints and the such, so in other words its stuff I've never dealt with before in my life up to this point.
Basically I was angry at myself for sending Baird-sensei continuous emails about little stupid mistakes I've made regarding his class I'm taking and jr. year writing. I've sent him so many by now he probably thinks I'm a real idiot, but to be honest its seriously all just a series of coincidences that involve me making small judgement or perception errors.
However that instance and studying Forrest-sensei's homework made me think the same thing. Sitting there, I couldn't understand well the things I was reading, meaning I'm going to have to play the fool for the upteenth time in my life.
It made me wonder whether the great men and women of this world got to where they are like this. Did the man who can speak 7 languages grit, struggle, and self-loathe in the process of becoming a man who can speak 7 languages? Did he suffer intense humiliation and even more self hatred in the process of becoming that figure you respect and envy?
