Month 005

Today I had just finished another tuition session (yes, sadly, that is how a teacher can really make a living in this day and age) when the Maverick reminded me that it had been five months. And what a wonderful five months it has been!

I don't know why exactly I feel this way, but the words from a song I first heard when I was ten years old came to mind. (Well, not only the words, but the riffs and harmony and all, even!) I shall reproduce the words below for those of you who (somehow) have not yet encountered the world of Freddy Mercury.

The point, however, is not one about vainglory and the rise of a hero. The point (well, a triple point, heh heh) is that settling up leads to settling down, being victorious is a state of mind, and solid is a state of matter.

We Are The Champions

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share
Of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions – of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge
Before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions – of the world
