My mentality is this; 'I can always be better.'
I can't live any other way to be honest. The thought of just kicking back and letting oppertuinites pass me by is totaly alien and in all honestly the thought frightens me. If I'm not out there doing something then what is the point? It just means that I'm falling behind, I'm not making any contribution to life in general and effectivly I am useless. Hence my ethos is to be out trying different things, getter better, but enjoying it on the way.
Recently though I've been thinking, you see I was asked: "How good is 'Good Enough'?"
First of all I prepared to say; when I am the best I can be. However I quickly realised that this would not do for a very obvious reason: If I wish to be the best I will go out and achieve, yet as soon as a new oppertunity comes along I will no longer be the best and so I will have to work untill I can be at the top again. This however will not last forever as something new comes along.
Hence I deduced that quite possibly I could never technically be the best for an extensive period of time, it is in fact a visious circle that keeps going around and around and around.
So I went back to the question and really searched myself for an answer, and guys I'm still looking. How good is good enough?
Twice Half It's Length. No but all jokes aside this was really cool.
