midterm madness

when you fail at something, you can react to the emotional consequences one of two ways. you can become discouraged, stop trying, and blame everyone else. this is what i'm used to doing. thoughts like "they don't like me", "they don't understand", and "i have it harder than everyone else" tend to make me feel better about defeat. my goal for the rest of this semester is to stop being such a egocentric wimp. when i fail, i need to wake the fuck up and realize that what i did the first time around was not good enough. i need to make changes where change needs to be made. i need to get rid of the distractions, thoughts, and mentalities that add up to failure. i need to stop being so damn dramatic. remember, being a failure means you stop trying and eliminate the chances of success for yourself.
