♥ What's good about good result?

"What's the point of getting good result, making people expect so high from you?"
This question has been running in my mind for two days. Alot of things that happened made me to think about this question. Seriously, now I feel that.. My good result is actually a burden to me. People sees you differently when you have a good result. Some people would actually think that you're arrogant and bossy, when you're not. They would judge you, assume you, and predict you based on your result. But hey, I can tell you one thing. It's not what my result has made me, but what I have made my result. So, the me you're seeing now has no difference with the past me, and other people.
People would expect alot from you when you have good result. They would expect you to adapt things fast, understand things fast, and do things fast. But hello.. A high achiever also learnt to walk by crawling first. No different with any other people in this world. You can't expect them to run before they leaarned how to walk! Everything has it's first step! A high achiever doesn't mean they are genius. They may make mistake. They may do things slow. They may understand less. They also may adapt things slower than other people!
Suppose a high achiever and normal achiever made the same mistake. People would say it's ok for the normal achiever because they may be understand less. But people would criticise the high achiever for making such a mistake.
So you see.. What's the point of getting such a good result, making people see you differently? Yes, I have achieved what I wanted to achieve, I have proved what I wanted to prove. But what's the point? All I get is more stress. The result has handicapped me from making mistake, do things slow, and understand slow. The result has made people expect so much from me..
So.. People out there. Remember, result is not the most important aspect in your life. Result is just a point to determine how far you can push yourself in academy line. Just be neutral. Not too high. Not too low. And you'll have a better life. More happiness. Less worries.
Despite the things being said above, I still thank my God for His endless love and guidance that gave me what I have today. Not to forget that, I have made my family proud of me. That's my goal.
