School

I tend to forget that being in school is really about the process of learning how to do things. Unfortunately, I feel the need to prove to other people and to myself that I am indeed getting things done and as a result end up stressing out about not having much to show.

I like knitting alot, because it is entirely under my control and I know enough about it that I can easily fix mistakes and even take things completely apart if necessary. My work at school doesn't quite work the same way, I guess because I don't know enough about it (yet), and it ultimately has more consequences than any knitting project could have. Or does it? It's hard to know whether you are caring about something too much.


학교를 다니면서 내가 공부를 하는 이유는 사실은 단순한 결과를 얻기 위해서가 아니라 그 결과를 끌어내는 과정을 배우기 위해서라는 걸 너무 쉽게 잊는다. 실은 당장 뭔가 남들에게 나도 잘하고 있다고 보여주고 싶은데 그렇지 못하니까 스트레스를 참 많이 받는다. 정작 중요한 것은 그 과정을 훌륭하게 수행하는 능력을 키우는 것이란 걸 자꾸 스스로 상기시켜줘야 한다.

이거 똑같이 쓰기 힘들다. 결론은 걱정을 그만하고 열심히 살아야한다 정도임. 말은 쉽지만 이거야말로 자꾸 머리속에 되뇌어야한다.
