I'll work harder for myself !!! Nothing could stop me
You know this guy?


And created this beautiful character, a horse named Boxer.

Boxer said something that I think about every day of my life.
“I will work harder.”
I walk into a room, and can already hear a girl bragging about all her accomplishments.
“I am by far the most qualified for this class. I had perfect attendance last year and the instructor already knows me.”
I only smile, repeating the line in my head. I am not afraid of her.
I look down a column of single digit percentages. Above the column reads “Ivy League Acceptance Rates.”
Others have been working on their application since third grade, surely they’ll be accepted over me.
I panic, but just for a moment. Because Boxer’s wisdom is there for me.
Anytime I think I may be at a disadvantage, I tell myself that it doesn't matter what benefits others may have.
Every person in the room could be smarter, more prepared, more politically connected. But it doesn't matter.
Because “I will work harder.” That sentence has changed the way I live my life.
