hmmm
Quick and brief update:
Feeling quite lovely, since most midterms are out of the way. Meaning for this weekend, I can engage in my favorite leisurely activties, reading and surfing the net! whoo hoo!
Ever had that feeling that you could have worked alot harder? It's the worst feeling of all because it's not the result you're upset with, it's yourself that gets you down. Well, I got a midterm back, which I wasn't necessarily too happy with (it was an alright mark actually, but that's not the point) I probably could have done a heck of a lot better, even though I tried, I could have put a little more into it.
so...in the end, you gotta try to put 100% in everything you do, which usually works initially, but when the shock of the failure wears off you go back to your slacking ways. Hopefully though, I can take this lesson and apply it in everything, school, family, relationships, athletics, etc. Just because, it's not fair to myself to half ass things, when I have the potential to do so much more.
I think that people, myself included, focus too much on getting things done but not getting things done well. It's one thing to work on something and another to be able to look with pride on something, and feel the pride in your accomplishments. I do feel pride in a lot of things that I do, but can I honestly say I feel pride in everything that I do? I can't...
it's time to step up to the plate and work hard at everything, because heck, being able to get something done is one thing, but being able to revel in it, is another...
Do you take pride in your work?
Regards,
Adam
