Breathing is all A matter of Pressure.

When someone tells you grades and numbers and assessments mean nil,

in the long run, they're actually

lying to you.

Because,

really?

They matter. They matter,

a lot.

Life is secretly a long line of people all waiting to pass judgement on you, looking to see if

you're 

GOOD ENOUGH.

So you have to have your credentials ready, 

you have to be GOOD ENOUGH.

Good enough for them to look at you.

Good enough for them to want

you.

Bosses, teachers, friends, colleagues, bankers, lovers, investors, the government, your parents.

Everyone.

Wants to know.

If.

You,

(yes, YOU)

are good enough.

Good enough for them.

Good enough for their money.

Good enough for their

TIME.

Because if you're not

worth it, that is.

If you're not GOOD ENOUGH, that is.

They don't want you.

And

time is short.

So,

they want your numbers.

Because,

numbers are fast.

Numbers are

GOOD ENOUGH, for them.

For them to know you

For them

to know

if

YOU are good enough.
