Eggs in One Basket

They say if you put all your eggs in one basket, you're doomed.

I disagree.

I fully believe that one should, at least in one point in their lives, put all their eggs into one basket. I also fully believe that when we do do that, all the eggs should break and the basket be completely ruined. Without feeling a force to which we are powerless against, we will always view the world as a place where everything will always go the way you want it to go. We become complacent. We become spoiled.

That should never be the case. We should never be resigned to the fact that we have to continue doing what we are doing. We should never be resigned to the fact that our daily jobs are our daily hardships, that going to classes is the equivalent to having the soul sucked out of your body, that we are not able to succeed unless we get practical skills.

Welcome your failures. Welcome your hardships. In the end, if you can survive them, one by one, they will make you stronger. They will remind you that you may have felt like giving up at that moment. They will remind you that you wished you could disappear forever and not need to worry anymore.

However, they will also remind you that you survived that. You can and you have survived those heartbreaking moments. You have survived those dreams being stomped on. You have survived the ridicule of your peers, the jeers of your elders, the assaults on your hopes.

You have survived. You have faced it and you have lived to see another day.
