Perfectionism's Folly

Hello Bloggees!

Today I realized an important lesson in perfectionism- that it is not wise to use the ideal for motivation.

In college, I've discovered new things about the academic extravaganza. For one, there are many people who get A's. Second, a lot of people get A's. And third, people don't care what kind of grade YOU get.

So, coming into my seventh week in college, I've realized that I don't care much about my grades being perfect. Great! What an accomplishment for a perfectionist!
However,..

What do I feel motivated by now in order to keep up my grades?

....The Love Of Learning?
....Recommendation Letters from My Professors?
....Obsessive-Compulsive Fun of Getting Things Done?
....Basic Self-Respect of My Own Knowledge?

One's motivation is an important energy to harness and yields success to those who capture it...

I just hope I know why I like my first-year English class before the semester is over... =)
