Nothing can lower my spirit
After some murmurs at work, I have learned about the Local Guide Summit. I was not a bit qualified for it at that time cause applicants:
...so I thought "Next year, maybe."
But the idea of not doing anything even though that's all I wanted at that moment made me very uneasy. I've thought of the opportunities in the past that I've just freely let go. I've thought of how much I've regretted being a bystander when I could have put my heart into work. So after these flashbacks, I shook my head and said, "Nope. This year."
As soon as I decided to do it, my mind exploded. I was so thrilled to shoot, to edit videos, to write, to update places (I do this on a daily basis), to give out reviews, to upload photos; it was everything I've dreamt of doing. Even though I was executing all these before and after my work day, it felt right. I did not feel exhausted; in fact, I was excited to come in to work. Nothing can lower my spirit.
After a few days of nonstop production, it's finally done, it's submitted. Locked and loaded.
This is my general perception in life. The goal is to get what I want to, or at least try. And as I do so, give my 100%. So in the end, no regrets, no drawbacks. Nothing can lower my spirit.
P.S. I would let you know of the results in a month. Look out for my follow-up blog.

- Must have founded a non-profit or non-governmental organization

(Okay, the some of them are not true, but you get it.)

I have met tens of local guides who are twenty times greater and more effective than I am. I have seen hundreds of other application videos that are leaps and bounds more appealing than mine. But I did my best to get this outcome. So whether I get in or not, whether I go to San Francisco this year or not, I am contented. I have received an overwhelming support from both my family and friends and I cannot be more grateful.
