When people say I work too hard, I laugh and say, "YOU DON'T!" In life, you have to work for what you want, and that's just the way it is. I wanted to play the flute and become the best in the group, so I practiced every night, and look at me now! I beat the competition and everyone seems to say it! I get straight A's so I can get into great colleges across the globe. I work for what I want, call me an over-achiever, but that's just me. Don't ever complain about how you are bad at ANYTHING, because if you practice you WILL get better... unless you practice only once or twice. If you fail horribly the first time, try again! Nobody is perfect, even me. I make mistakes, after all, I'm only human.
Day one:
To show that anything can be accomplished, here's what my task is. I must become left-handed starting now until the end of summer. Each day I'll practice one thing, and eventually my left hand will be stronger than my right. Today's thing was basketball(I'm planning on doing this for almost the entire time to see how much I improve). I'm a decent basketball player, and by decent I mean I make one out of fifty shots on a ten-foot hoop. Today, I began by dribbling the ball with my left hand and left hand only. I starting making shots the correct way that I was taught, and my first one rolled into the street... by the end of all the practicing I had most certainly improved because I stood almost exactly where I made the first shot and swished the ball beautifully into the net. It felt magical! smile
My challenge:If you ever read this, begin your own transformation into becoming a lefty or a righty, or shoot for both like me!
