Habit 7: Wear Yourself Out
Work Hard.
I begin with no end in mind for sure, just jump into it, until I'm waist deep in an ocean of shit, then just keep on trucking. Also it is true, everything is a competition, you are allowed to let others have a consolation prize, like a participant trophy, it just can't be better than your first prize. Lastly, wearing yourself out is definitely a good thing, it makes you better, no pain no gain. Now for an anecdote about wearing yourself out, the last track meet, I had a popped blister on my hand from Monday's practice. When I got in my warm-up vaults, it popped. I persevered and pushed through the pain and ended up clearing nine feet, a whole foot higher than my personal record and enough to get me into leagues. (I was an alternate 3 and ended up not going, but that's another story for another day)
It's funny since we're going to start reading "7 Habits of a Successful Teen" tomorrow. Anyways I myself am guilty of habit 3 and 7, which kind of makes no sense, but it does for me. I procrastinate on a lot of things, but by working on other things. So pretty much my whole life is centered around doing work for things (music, magic, school, art, etc.). It's just I tend to set some stuff off to the side for a long time to work on other stuff. Other than that, I don't really have the other habits. Constant happiness and wanting the happiness of others ftw!
ReplyDeleteHabit 1: React
ReplyDeleteI am quite reactive when I’m alone. Slews of swearing just spill out of my mouth. Also, I have no self-control over urges such as listening to music at max volume when I’m alone.
Habit 3: Put First Things Last
Well, it’s not such much that I procrastinate. It would be more accurate for my situation to be described as “doing the fun stuff first”. I indulge myself in fun assignments/leisurely activities before doing any real hard work (put first things last).
Habit 4: Think Win-Lose
Dunno if I should admit this but… I gain personal satisfaction from seeing others get hurt. Mentality: At least I am not that guy (emotionally or physically injured person).
Habit 5: Seek First to Talk, Then Pretend to Listen
I only fit this partially. I don’t usually talk so instead of sparking a conversation, I am usually on the receiving end. How I react depends on the mood I am in. If I care about you or your topic, I will make a conscious effort. If I don’t give a fuck… well then I just don’t give a fuck!
Habit 6: Don't Cooperate
I have been described as rather hardheaded when it comes to change. I whole-heartedly dislike other people’s opinions, especially when they feel strongly about something.
You said "Never put your iPod at more than half volume", and in here "I have no self-control over urges such as listening to music at max volume when I’m alone." ... Sense Y U NO here?
DeleteI wasn't alone. Its too hazardous to be deaf in public.
DeleteAlso, putting anything except expensive speakers + woofers at max volume is stupid. It breaks/screws with the sound quality.
DeleteI've played pony music pretty loudly when no one was home. It was great, really. Docked my ipod onto a Sony Hi-Fi Component System and played "winter wrap up" and "PIRL" while preparing food. It was a bit awkward when my sister came home and I couldn't mash the power button in time.
Habit 6: F*** you, I do what I want. For Bfong, Spiderman.mp4
