Thoughts to live by...

Good morning again cyberspace, it's the weather sucky today?

At one point last year I was beginning to feel under a lot of stress from my teachers pushing me work to what they believed to be my full potential. When I questioned one of the teachers that was supplying the pressure why couldn't it be less he told me this: "If they stop pushing you to win they've stopped caring." Not only did this make me confused it made me think a lot. What is going through the minds of the people that are just waiting for you to fail? And, what is going through the minds of the people that are really just wanting you to be the best person you can ever be?

The obvious thought that always comes to mind when you're thinking about the people that are wanting you to fail is that they care so much about being better than you that they have to do something to make you feel inferior to themselves. Maybe it's the opposite, they care so little that they automatically assume they're better.

Ponder over that cyberspace, what's your conclusion?

What do you think is going through the minds of the people who do want the best for you? For me, that is like tunnel vision and clear. When I say I want the best for a student, there's no reservation or self-interest involved. Though, to be clear, if you won the lottery, I'd be pleased as punch if you bought me a cool book to read.
