An F/A-18F Super Hornet hits the speed of sound. As the plane pushes air away, the temperature drops and water vapor in the air forms a ring cloud around it. I tend to somehow come across things familiar to me & if you got to the same school as me, you may have seen this before too. I wasn’t really looking for it, but I knew that I’d seen it before. What a sight it is too.
In video games, when you reach another level, there’s always some indication. In other words, you see the difference. Same applies to the image above. You definitely don’t see that on an every day when a plane passes by. I’m just wondering how they got the image to come out so clearly. Now, imagine you had a sign/indication of every thing you accomplished. Not so clearly seen is it? You’d think a reward like a trophy/metal would be the same but that’s incorrect.
As you know, games have their limits & you move on to the next. Life shouldn’t be the same as a video game, get something for what you accomplish & moving on to the next thing saying you completed it. In real life nothings quite complete just by saying it is nor is it when someone else thinks you did. You don’t always need a reward for your actions. It’s done when you’ve mastered it. In other words, keep up the hard work.
A trophy/metal doesn’t really prove much now does it. Even if your names on it, it represents the past. Can one be so sure that they can do it again?…Not really. If someone asked you if you were good at something, how would you reply? If you are indeed good at it & say yes, it’s only in the eyes of the person who asked. For all you know, you could just be “good enough” as some may say. Instead of being the one asked, ask someone your self & challenge them for their title. There’s always someone out there who’s better. Don’t just stand there, find them.
Saying no means there’s always room for improvement. Even after the person who ask heard you say that, they’d still have their ideals of you. No problem with getting better before bragging about it. Just saying yes is considered bragging. The only good side to that is your more likely to be challenged, but you should still be a good sport & say something like, “nice try” or “challenge me again some day”. There bound to come again with alittle more competition.
You have no one to answer to but yourself. I’m sure you may have heard the phrase , “I/you’ve reached your limit” or “I’m tired/you seem tired”. I’d know, considering I’m a runner. As a runner, there’s such a thing as not push your self hard enough, but there’s also such a thing as puching yourself too hard. I tend to push myself too hard & I’m perfectly fine. I even have asthma, but that doesn’t stop me.
There has been many times where I thought I reached my limit. Do you think you’ll find that limit if you push your self hard enough? In my opinion, there’s no limit to what you can accomplish. Everyones body tells them to stop at some point, but why not reach that point & see how it feels for yourself. Think of it as setting a record. The next time you do it may just last a bit longer.
As you may be able to tell, I’m in this years 2009-2010 running club. Recently, we had a 15k run. As for how long that was in miles, I did not know. As I ran it, I constanly slowed down to get water after sprinting half of it. The very week after that, we were going to do a 10 mile run around a large park. When I ran this run, it was with good speed the whole way with only 2 drinking fountain breaks. It wasn’t until after that run that I found out the 15k was 9 miles. I was suprised that I ran the 10 miles better than the 9 miles. If I knew it was more, I might’ve ran slower but because I thought otherwise, I didn’t consider reaching my limit. Thus, I had no limit to begin with. It was all in my head & thinking I had a limit prevented me from getting better. I now run without thinking of that limit in order to improve.
Lets go to that image above one more time. Do you think we’ll stop at just passing the speed of sound? In my opinion, we’ll soon be challenging the speed of light. A person who thinks without limitations is soon to come up with the answer as have so many others who have come up with unthought of theories & inventions. Where would we be if we all restricted ourselfs to limits? This is why I say to you, “Level Up Without Limit”.
