Something to live by...

"If you've never failed- you're not trying hard enough to succeed."  I like this quote because it shows character and gives everyone a reason to try harder.  Every day I wake to a new challenge and I hope that I can complete it.  It's very hard to just become an adult as soon and you graduate high school and that is what I was forced to do.  I try to be optimistic about a task and try to figure out where I benefit from it.  I believe that organization is the hardest thing for a college student to maintain; between all of the classes, due dates, papers, study time, readings, work, being social, and everything else that comes with the territory.  For myself I think the hardest thing is managing work and school together.  I spend more than fifteen hours a week on my computer.  It can't be good for my eyes, but if I want to succeed in the real world I have to dedicate my life to learning and excelling.  By doing your best in college, you have a better chance and being a well rounded and worth hiring employee.  You pay thousands of dollars to go to school and get a higher education.  I don't see a reason to waste a perfectly good opportunity like this one.  With all of the technology and equipment that goes into our school we should be doing our best to strive for the best education possible.  So why do so many feel the need to waste their time in college by slacking off and not studying?  Is it because their parents have paid for everything their whole life and now they are free from their watchful gaze?  Maybe so, and they might never get the same opportunities as those of us who worked our asses off to succeed.  But I plan to live by this quote as long as I am looking to my future and I hope you will do the same.
