I completed Kanji Gold and I am very happy - nobody in history has ever clicked on all these kanji correctly, I am the first one.
I realise it doesn't have much practical application in understanding Japanese but it is a very personal achievement. It was very stressful, I got angry, I never thought I'd do it before the new year...
Interestingly enough my perspectives on stuff have changed massively as of late - I used to think if I achieved things people would treat me with respect.
This changed massively when I was on a train ride to where I used to be in care - one of the people who used to 'work' there (I write 'work' because I don't think bullying vulnerable children is work) was looking at me like I was dirt. I wanted to stab him to pieces, but he taught me a very valuable lesson - no matter what I achieve certain people will never respect me.
More importantly it doesn't matter if these people don't respect me.
