Don't Underestimate Yourself, You Are an Human After All

hyunsoung's blog about life as a foreigner
Some fellow writers at SW may know that I am living in a country far away from my hometown Korea, in a country named Bosnia & Hercegovina. By that name, most would think of the Balkan war and so on, just like many people by mentioning Korea would think that it is a underdeveloped country still washing away the ashes of war, well the thoughts were like that ten years ago.
Today, I am proud of being an human. A human who has the power to bring happiness to himself and others. A human whose limits are not yet discovered, and will never be. We turned sands to fortresses, stones to cities, and all other elements to life. From wood to electricity, our brains made the impossible possible, the unimaginable imaginable.
So, turn away from the mere advantages and disadvantages of our cities, villages and the walls around them, crush the walls and let all earth be one town, a town where every tree is ours and our neighbors, where every child is our child.
We are all made by the same principle, and live by one. Look around you, be amazed, it is not the end but a beginning, appreciate the era we were born in, sweat will pay off, and let the hardships be opportunities for clearer future. Don't underestimate yourself but also don't overestimate the reality.
