All Work and no Play.. The Fischbowl

This certain article in the Fischbowl leaves a very resonate sound imprinted in my head because it pertains to me greatly. Mr Fisch. is talking about how when he was a child he wanted to be a profoundly excellent runner in races and sorts of activities. And when he was a kid he would train not easy, but not the hardest he could of. But there were other kids who pushed their limits above and beyond imagining. And they would destroy him completely. But so at around age 16, he stopped loosing. He started doing training exercises thought ridicules and to difficult, run for hours and not rest for there was no time if he wanted to win. I fined this very ineligible because in all things i take great interest to i push myself and wont accept anything less, then more than my own best. I think it is ridicules how some people think they can have things just handed to them in life and can just stroll along with out any effort. Even more angering is the people who are actually successful in that department. I push myself to be able to shove-it in their face that hard work will turn out to beat them any day. I incorporate this to my entire world of skateboarding. which is incredibly important. Because if you don't put in 100% of your effort u will get hurt and injured on an terrific level. A second part of this article is the fact schools are taking this away by making situations completely the opposite of what you might incorporate in a real life situation. Which isn't that schools main purpose is to get us ready for life? so what kind of imprint is that leaving on us. This has a connection to the first section because if we don't work in school on our future life's situations then where does that leave us when we finally reach that age where we need to know these things? In that case i think it is probably on our shoulders mostly to reach that level of knowledge we will need. By the hard work and the effort that it requires to do so.
