eclipse:
I am going to agree and disagree.
I agree it is proper for someone to attempt to move beyond his limitations, and that is the work of our life.
I want to add though, that many kids today are raised to think that everything is their fault and that they are required to be “perfect”.
Perfectionism is the disease of our community. I think sometimes it is important to first realize that not everything is our fault, and that we are not held to impossible expectations.
Then, we can strive to reach past our limits.
