Our
family's puppy has finally understood he should take care of his needs
outside of the house and not in my bedroom. Every time he does
something right (he can only do "sit" for now) he gets rewarded with a
pat on the head, big bones to chew, or "giant puppy" snacks.
I
think that most of us understand that such positive reinforcement does
not occur that often in real life. Most fresh graduates leave school
with a big heart to accomplish their life-long dreams, then realize
that their hard work would not be compensated with a good job in a good
company, or a second degree at a prestigious university.
I have always been an optimistic person: I believed that I could be an
exception. The rare few that tried hard and could reach for the stars.
However, today,
along with my fellow fresh graduates, I too, realized that the stars
are hard to reach. I built myself a ladder, but the stars are no longer
there.
If you are reading this, which I suspect not, then this is the reason
why I am sad. Of course, as my mom says, this is a "happy problem" and
I should not be too disappointed.
