Don't just meet expectations. Exceed Them!
Long ago, when I was just a high school kid. I had a teacher who would tell us many adventures stories that she had been with her husband. One story that I cannot forget was about risking skydiving. She spoke about facing fears, learning to be strong, and living on the edge, but honestly, none of that surprised me.But a student suddenly interrupted my teacher and asked how they had so much time to take up all these adventures. I was quite surprised too, but something she mentioned almost changed my life. I know this might not sound like a great deal, but she said, "Mind you, A person who says they don't have time in life has already failed.", But for some reason, this always stuck with me.
Whenever I felt to quit something, I always told myself I could push myself a little more. Whenever I had a feeling that I should not be trying something risky, I always promised myself to take the risk. This kind-of mentality eventually set up my belief system, which turned out to be my profound core memory (Like from the movie Inside-Out).
