~:[CH12 - Day 143]:~ The Process

I think one things about being a history teacher is, I get to teach about how things came to be, rather than just how they are. As we dive into the past, we see what helped shape what we see in front of us. Just like the beautiful architecture, restaurants, and even nature, they all had their own process of becoming what they are today. For a building, it could have been various revisions to get to the beautiful architecture we see in front of us. We don't know how far the architect traveled to find the influence to build what they did. For a restaurant, I wonder how many different recipes did they try before they devised their current menu. What failed and what was their breakthrough moment? For a flower, we see the beauty in front of our eyes, but do we understand how the whole process started and what it took for this flower to look this good? Just like all these things, we must go through the process. It's easy to assume that some people are just naturally amazing, but many see the result, but not the process. The hours of hard work, the ups and downs, and all the sacrifices it took to get where they are today. People want the wealth, the fame and the glory, but do they understand the process on what it takes to get there. For some, this process will take longer. Stick with it and don't give up. Don't compare ourselves to a finished product, rather focus on your own process and your own timeline, even if this is your second or third round, each process has it's own qualities and timeline. In the end, instead of just seeing the final image, let's understand the process, as that seems to be much more amazing and inspiring than the final masterpiece we see before us.
