"Excellent" - always the first in all

"Excellent" - always the first in everything, because in your childhood you learned: to be an excellent pupil you must always and in everything be first! True, victory does not make you happier. Some women live under the motto: "Faster, higher, stronger" - and really reach heights. It would seem that a well-groomed appearance, a rich life, a successful career should please the landlady. But she is always unhappy with herself. What makes "excellent pupil" - always the first in all to run forward? Reward for the hero. Children do not become excellent students on their own. Usually the school successes of the child are the merit of the parents. Someone should tell the girl that she is obligated to be accurate, hardworking and then she can become an excellent pupil - always the first in everything. As a result, an excellent student gets used to what can "reward" herself by communicating with friends, a favorite hobby or something delicious only after all the things are done. That is, never. After all, there are always unrealized plans and unfinished projects.

I forgot about the rest. In its impulse to be an excellent pupil - always the first in everything, you completely forgot about rest. Allowing yourself to relax a little, you do not get pleasure from rest, feeling guilty for "irresponsible behavior." If you can not allow time to waste on entertainment, try to treat rest as a necessary condition for normal work. When a person is in a time trouble condition, he is not capable of labor feats. By the way, the way you spend your leisure time talks about your success. It's one thing to lie on the couch in front of the TV, and another - to dive. Sufficient free time, the opportunity to relax where you want, are goals that you can strive for.

Strict jury. Of course, the "excellent student complex" does not only concern work, but also attitudes to appearance, the choice of a partner in life, the upbringing of children. "Society" or "honors" of us makes society, appropriating the assessment of our knowledge, actions. But the mark is a conditional thing. Remember your classmate who was never "excellent", despite the solved problems, because in the lessons he started airplanes ... And should always be the first in everything. The honors pupil needs someone else's approval and becomes a hostage to this desire. Is it possible to get a haircut if your mother has always praised your long hair? So we have to make nutritious masks and invent complex hair styles so as not to disappoint parents. Having planned another goal, answer the question: "For whom am I doing this?" Once you start to proceed from your interests, you will see that you will be satisfied with quite modest results. And you do not need to be an excellent pupil and do not always be the first in everything! If it were not for the opinion of friends, you would meet a nice courier who came to your office. And let him have no higher education, but you really liked him. He is so clever, cheerful, charming and liked not only you, you are sure of it.

Black or white. Having eaten an extra cake, you call yourself a "cow", which could not resist; having made a mistake in the report - muddle, in which there is no attentiveness. You are used to always be the first in everything, you do not forgive yourself the slightest failure, so you rarely are satisfied with yourself. But small gaffes we do constantly - we must not allow them to influence our self-esteem. Learn to accept yourself regardless of success. Enough to be always an excellent pupil! Enough to strive to be always the first in everything! Loving your shortcomings, treating them as bright features of personality, you will become calmer and happier. Metko says: "A victory over oneself is the only triumph in which luck has no share." Richard Sheridan, English playwright.
