Challenge #2 Tolerating Others' Life Styles
If I've learned anything in my year-long experience with Dr. Dodge, professor of Economics at Hanover College, is that he doesn't tolerate laziness and whining. If a person is lazy about getting their work done and fails to do so, then there is no point for them to be wasting money on school. Laziness at work sometimes slide, but in an economy like this, it'll lose you your job in a heartbeat.
I used to be lazy, for sure. I wouldn't finish all my homework in high school, I'd half-ass study for tests, and my grades proved it to be true. Going to Hanover taught me that half-assing your way through life is a waste of time, space, and money. I despise people who simply glide on the accomplishments of others. My strong drive now started out much weaker before I entered drumline.
Drumline taught me that people have to strive for their goals, or else it isn't worth any effort. Teamwork was very essential, because if one person wasn't pulling their weight, the whole drumline became a joke. One missed note, one wrong step, and the judges lose focus on the good and comment on the errors made.
Then getting into college showed me that laziness is just a waste of money, whether it's your money or your parents'.
Don't waste time. You only have 100 years to live, and a third of that time is spent sleeping. So you really only have 66 or so years to live and cherish it.
Yes, people can stress to the point of yelling, but they are also living and striving towards a goal. Motivation comes in many forms, and one of the biggest motivators is setting a goal for yourself. Try it. Try spending time with motivated people. Start small, and eventually you'll strive towards bigger and better things. Never settle for reality.
