[quote=Anonymous]This is not just a college issue, OP. It is people lacking understanding of the concept of "good enough". You can spend your life stressing over whether you are/have "the best" or you can be happy with "good enough" and use that mental energy for happier and more fulfilling pursuits. You can also spend your precious time with your child pushing and prodding them to be "the best" or let them do THEIR best and live with the "good enough" results. Let your child be the person they actually are, not the person you want them to be. Note that "good enough" does not have to mean living in poverty or going to community college. Plenty of us are very happy in our "good enough" jobs, houses, neighborhoods and schools. In the DMV, our "good enough" is miles above what would be considered "good enough" in less affluent regions.
