something to think about
yesterday, a friend and i were pondering what was worse:
- trying the hardest you can and still not doing well enough
or
- not putting in as much effort as you should have and not doing well
she argued that knowing that you're not good enough and may never be good enough is an incredibly hard pill to swallow.
i argued that at least with the first case, you'd have some sort of self-satisfaction in knowing you did the best you could whereas regret is a son of a bitch.
where do you lie on the spectrum?
