Is it really working? Or is that what you are telling yourself?
Because I sometimes miss stuff just because I think the way I am doing it is correct.

I feel like it works for me.  History will be the final judge.

Remember, perfection is a illusion. So your reality can in fact be wrong.
That is something I have seen.
Many say a happy life is to move around and travel. While I prefer to sit still and read a book.

I'm not asking for perfection, truth be told.  I'm just looking to do the best I can.  :)

My grandmother said to never strive for "fine" or "decent" . She told me to always try reaching the horizon. But be aware of failure.
This is why I never expected high grades and still got them.

My family was the same way, though they mellowed with age.  Both of my folks pushed me hard and I got the good grades too.  So, as it stands, I don't mind not succeeding in everything I do ... as long as I try and learn something from the effort, that will do.  However, having said that, I do keep on trying.  :)

I was one lazy ass teen. I never did my homework and always read 1 hour before the test. Then again I am a freak who rememebrs everything i read.

**Giggles!**

I had no other choice but to study since my folks made me sit in my room and do so.  My mother used to say that was one of the things she never understood that I preferred to stay in my room and be left alone.  Pop asked her, "You put her there with the rules you and I set.  Now you are surprised?"
