What is racism but an excuse for lack of willingness minorities have to move on from the wrongdoings of the past?

If you had mentioned this part(Don't say you did , I checked) then your views would have made a little more sense and I wouldn't be here now going through 15 lines of your life story.

Being all public? I never mentioned your name, you did, you also took the opportunity to go through everything in your post. I was trying to get a second opinion on my views because if somehow I've managed to go through life with a skewed idea I can be corrected and avoid future embarrassment. Not embarrass you or whatever you thought my aim was.

Despite what you think not everything revolves around you archon. I'm just a guy looking for some answers and what you said brought up a question which I proceeded to ask about here.

So basically we both fail.

That's not overachievement, it's wasting time on school garbage with no value. Ie., you're not actually achieving anything (by doing tasks for entertaining kids with no ability).

Do truly stimulating things, like read a book in German.

Yeah, 'bout that...

I don't think there's such a thing as "over-achieving" really. If you're passionate about something, you improve as you work. If you work super-extra-hard, you just improve that much more. I did a presentation for class the other day, and it was far and away the best presentation of anyone in the group. I even brought in a guitar and sang at the end. Now, it could be LOOKED at as over achieving (I could have gotten an A in my sleep based on what other people did for this) but it helped me with my public speaking, and to have more confidence in my singing in front of others.

I don't even CARE about the grade (if I pass, I'm happy, be it an A or a D) but that kind of experience really helps you later in life.

True, I don't consider myself an over achiever based on my own values, but on the values of those around me. I think my work should be the average effort people put into their schoolwork or out-of-school activities. It's unbelievable how little effort people put forth towards their future.

Bullshit. Working a lot on something you're "passionate" about is one thing, but being an over-achiever at school is something completely different. People don't do their schoolwork because they're passionate about it, they do it because they're jerk-wads who, honestly, don't have many better things to do in life.

Your values are bad and you should feel bad.

As a burn-out delinquent, I take offense to that, young man. Your work should not be average anything, you just don't realize that besides helping you get a diploma, all the work you do is worthless crap-mucus. You must realize that not everyone has the same view of the world as you. Getting a good diploma so you can later get yourself a nice paying job and live as a reasonably successful man in society? Couldn't really give two shits, and the same goes for other people.

What you people call "Over-Achieving," I call "Taking pride in what I do."

Regardless of how trivial something is.

I do my schoolwork because I'm passionate about it, but then, that's why I'm back in school after five years away from it. I didn't have this sort of passion when I was in my early twenties, but now I'm ready to tackle it and make myself a better artist as a result. A lot changes in the years after becoming an adult... But if there are under 18 year olds who have that same level of passion, man, it's going to be AWESOME to see what they accomplish with their lives. More power to them; the world is waiting for them to change it for the better.

That was already done years ago. It has nothing to do with St. Patty's day. Just a coincidence that it released today of all days. ORANGE!!!!!!!

You know what's REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING?!

Facebook apps, that say I don't have the most recent version of flash player and therefore refuse to run.... when i DO have the most recent version, it just happens to be the Debug version, and for some reason these few apps decide that Debug version 10 /= Release version 10 >:@
