“Did I win? Did I lose? Those are the wrong questions. The correct question is: Did I make my best effort?”
Have you ever failed in something and reminded yourself that what matters is the effort you put into it? or have you recently realized that the only questions you are asking are “Did I succeed? Did I fail?”
Many people tend to only care about how well or how wrong they have completed something, in my case its the grades. I live in an environment where all the students do what ever they can to succeed, no one really cares about the effort put into the tasks and how well it is developed. What I have realized is that I often find myself pouting over a bad grade I got or giving up on something I don’t understand, when actually whats important is the amount of effort and dedication you give when trying to achieve. Its all about the effort, because at the end of the day what matters is what you learned and how much knowledge you gained, not the grade you recieved. The quote from the book Mindset shown above really caught my attention because of how I related to it. Now I know that in the future I will no longer ask myself how well I did, but instead how much dedication I put into the work I do and how much I really learned.
