We don't realize sometimes that how far we go when we commit ourselves to something we're not ready for but we think it will be so easy for us. We push ourselves at different stages starting from a small setback (that you shouldn't be pushing on this) to utter humiliation from inner self (much worse then other people humiliating us) defeat after defeat, we don't realize where to stop. Some smart enough to stop at initial stages (they don't understand the next level ever though) Some stupid enough to go through the process they shouldn't have started at first place (that should be enough for a lifetime) and we carry on to the next baggage. Already lifting this one we share it with another and another sometimes. This humiliation happens at least once in a lifetime with everyone, some go through it early, some late. Some become stories to laugh at some become inspiration to learn from some are successful from outside dreading from inside and some became more beautiful from inside after society learned how they failed it. This process becomes a task to complete once we're set up on it, much like the Note on the street prank where one person ties a wire to note of a certain amount and keeps pulling whenever the person is reaching for it. Various similarities between the two, smart ones know it's a prank so they lay off as soon as they understand, greedy and stupid people commit till the end and end up being kidnapped or humiliated. They value of note like the challenges can be different, for some people grabbing 10 bucks will be enough, like achieving stupid things like watching a celebrity from far away. For some 2000 bucks is a challenge, like climbing a mountain without prior practice. Every person has different desires, every person is of different mentality, each of them have different ways to write the same script of failure but how much one fails defines the story of their wisdom and making giant loops after the experiences thay have had certainly shows their ability to use knowledge and experience in search of glory.
Where to stop, why to stop, why not complete it and get a lesson of lifetime? Why not know from the beginning it will end this way and script ourselves accordingly? many many questions depending on perceptions remain unanswered, but only one thing remain unchanged, our extreme faith and over confidence shatters and out comes a more mature person (in most cases) ready to experience the next level.
On other scenario, Just like the prank even if we manage to get the ultimate price we were striving for, we won't be happy as in prank case it's not our money and in reality case, it wasn't our work to complete, though we may enjoy it and get used to it, but no one's sure it was our ultimate location, the only difference is that note prank is done by others and this prank we do to ourselves. We can stop whenever we want, we could go for the ultimate to have the prize of the humiliation, the line between the two is very thin and as we move on it starts to shrink more and more. Either we win or we learn, both ways we get a tag of a lifetime, that we carry in our brain and watch it again everytime we start another essay. [Well again, who knows what that will be?]
