Success
My blog is the most successful thing about me- if you count success in pageviews. I have a skewed version of success apparently. I'm not sure what it is really. That people like you? That you have a lot of friends? If those are the requirements, I fail. People seem to like my photos, but in art school, I have to do more than photography. I have to do sculpture and drawing. What if I'm not a sculpture? Does that mean I'm unsuccessful? If I don't have a goal, and I don't accomplish that un-goal, then did I really fail?
Grades in school are the ultimate factor depending on success of failure. In grade school, if you get an F then you fail, don't go on to the next grade, continue to fail, don't go to college, work at a fast food restaurant for the rest of you life. If your goal was to accomplish working at Burger King, then did you fail? In the worlds eyes, yes. But what does that really matter? "Don't care about what other people think of you" we're always told. But we do. It's human nature. We can't help but wonder if Sally likes our dress of if Cameron thinks we're smart and pretty.
What is success? What does it matter? Does it mean anything anyway? We have multiple stages in life. If you fail one stage does that mean you automatically fail them all? Who decides if you succeed or fail? Are you letting someone else decide on your future? Do you trust anyone enough to do that?
Do I fail?
