User blog comment:Jkphantom9/One Year Later: Did You Keep Moving Forward?/@comment-24620600-20160201142744

One year ago I was writing my bachelor thesis, one year from now I will have finished my master thesis as well. So you can say I'm academically successful, but nonetheless I'm still lacking in other regards.

Back in 2011 I started some projects, of which I thought I could handle them. In the beginning it felt easy, as I was drunk by motivation. Naturally after some time, when I didn't got the results I hoped for, when things seemed to laborious, I just got frustrated and quit. I didn't work on them for more then a year and I also let my frustration carry over to my studies, which I let slide.

It were the words of Monty and a valued professor at my university, that helped me overcome this phase. Fortunately I realised, that I wanted to much at once, that I had to reconsider my goals and that it'll take many years to achieve my them.

I'm still working on it, on a daily basis. After almost two years, I now got a feeling of progress and accomplishment. I still have a long way to go, but I can proudly say that I'm moving forward. Because no matter how long you think a task will takeor how far away your deadline is, there is always something you can do today.
