"I strive for greatness" Without a doubt, that is some people's philosophy in life. Others live to get by and there isn't anything wrong with that. Of course, it all depends on the issue and topic at hand.

See, in regards to homework, I'm usually a "I'll wait until the last minute and B.S. it" type of person. The longer I wait, the more time I would have to do other fun-inducing activities such as surfing the internet as I am now. Procrastination gets me by school and that's good enough for me at the moment.

Regarding friendships though, I have this tendency to try to be the best to those who mean a lot to me. I try to find out what everyone thinks is a "decent person" and average it to equal who I am today. The values I hold is a mold of my friends' views of a decent person.

Everyday, we all wake up and do our set routines--some tedious, some autonomous. But some days, we have our set of routines and then some on the side. These abnormal tendencies are the things I live for. I thoroughly enjoy doing them so for me I don't see why I shouldn't strive to be at least great at it. I try to dedicate time to go over fundamental skills in doing what I do. And when I become great, I will smile.

Find your passion.
