[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I AM ambitious. That's the problem. So when I fail and fail again, and people pat me on the head and say that's ok...I have to wonder why.

We're not talking about work, by the way, so aimless and shiftless isn't accurate at all.[/quote]

What do you want people to say when you fail again and again?  Most people would respond "hey it's ok".  Because it is.  One of my best friends has failed at a new career several times.  And you know what?  It IS ok.  I don't think any less of her.  I don't think I'm better than her.  It's ok because it's really ok. [/quote]

Of course it's not ok. When did failing and mediocrity become ok? [/quote]

Because I dont judge people on their failings and what they succeed in.  My friend is an awesome person. She's happily married.  She struggles with school and can't get past her LPN.  It sucks and I feel bad for her because she would love to be an RN.  But her failings in becoming an RN in no way, shape, or form devalue her as a person. Just like my friend who is late 30s and unmarried because he's struggled with relationships.  I DO NOT care.  Those are not things that matter to me.

You seem to have a lot of issues, but they are yours alone. [/quote]
