February 11, 2016 : The Times They Are A-Changin'

Today I had an interesting dream where I was singing this song at karaoke.
The Times They Are A-Changin'
I heard this song for the first time when I was 19 years old, in the room of my apartment where I started my studies to pass the entrance exam of a medical school.
At that time, I didn't feel anything special about this song, but now, when I think about the lyrics of this song, I feel the nostalgia of those days.
I rented a room in an apartment and began my lonely struggle in that lonely place where I had no friends.
A year later, I tried two medical schools, each of which I failed.
The next year I moved to another apartment.
I bought
those exercise machines, which I set up there, and resumed my lonely struggle, which again turned out to be a failure.
In the third year, I returned to my parents' house and resumed my studies, and my efforts finally blossomed.
After a series of failures, I finally succeeded in my attempt, even though those around me might not think I could do it.
Yes, as the song says, the loser now will be the winner later, for the times they are a-changin'.
