how so? you never give the maximum effort?

kakayaraznica March 7 2006, 20:10:13 UTC

nope. once, on an AP Chem exam, and only bcit didnt really matter to me at the time - i just needed to totally bury myself in something

and this b/c of self-preservation? perhaps you're just lazy or unmotivated?

no, it wasconscoius and exactly that train of thought - if i dont study, then i still have a ways to go to "true" failure

clearly, that's not a good way of approaching any task - you're already making excuses for why you failed and rationalizing the failure before you even start doing it.

when I don't give 100% it's b/c I think that 80% will be good enough for me to get what i need -- more of a result of having a (possibly too) high opinion of myself then making sure I leave an "out" in case I fail.

if you're not gonna try, then might as well think about it my way -- would be better for your self-image and general psyche.
