I still reach for more but I now understand that 'more' can be obtained from the success and failure. Its good to have goals as adults but I worry that this is too blunt an approach for schools, who use this style of teaching. This came to me because I feel the teachers are pushing my daughter to be the best at everything she does, rather than trying her best at everything she does regardless of the grades. The other two are just my imaginative rantings :)
Thanks for the comment.
