Hi everybody. If I am not wrong, yesterday was the Hwa Chong-Nanyang Girls combined sports meet. I am not going to talk about that. Ok, I wil give you a little infomation. I only won one medal, and that is from the 4x100m relay race. The 100m race, I didn't win anything. Haha. But that is not the objective of today's post. Today's post is: Is the process of the race or the results of the race better?
When asked this question, most of the people would say,'' The results is better," because people only focus on the results, but who cares about the process? Although the process of the race is important as it plays an important part in the results, the results is obviously more being bothered about by the other people, and no one would want to care about the process of the race. They only care about getting into the top three positions in the race, and the process is not being cared about by the racers. I asked one of my friends whether the results or the process is more inportant, and without waiting for my answer, he immediately replied," It is obvious the reults right?" However, in my opinion, I think that the process is more impotant. If you do not put in effort, and you only care about the results, what for caring about it when you didn't even put in the effort needed to win the race, and you will for sure end up losing the race. Take, for example, me. I only care about the results of the race, and did not bother to put in the effort. Thus, in the finals of the 100m, I ended up on the losing end, without winning anything. Thus, after the race, I thought about it and think that," Hey, the process is better. Why care about the results when I only want to win and not put in any effort?"
Another live example is your exams. If you only care about the results and not care about putting in the effort, how can you score well? However, on the other hand, if you bother to study and not thinking about scoring well, you can for sure score better than the person in the first example. I am not saying that the results is not important, but if the process has a higher priority over the results. Thus, I would like to conclude that the process is more important than the results.
