Pace control of swimming for tomorrow's work

Today was a holiday, called the Day of Sea.

I didn't go to a sea but an indoor pool I went the day before yesterday.

Because regular work awaits for tomorrow, pace control was the key. If I pace up as usual because the swimmer in the next lane has overtaken me, I'll be much tired later, and may have bad effect on the work the few days later.

I set rather strictly the pace and the distance with which I swam today.
I decided to swim exactly 1 kilometer in 26 minutes 40 seconds if there were no interruption.
If there was a slower swimmer, that would be OK, I control the pace to the slower swimmer, but if there was a faster swimmer, I made up my mind not to pace up even if I thought I could, and instead give way to them.

Actually I swam 1 kilometer in 26 minutes.
It wasn't exactly the pace set in advance, but difference was within a minutes.
I thought I did well to control my pace.

This gave me positive feeling and I will go to work with better mood tomorrow.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
