Comparing yourself

2 years ago · 3 · Need Advice, +4


374

Okay, so I know you're not meant to compare yourself to others or compare grades but I just feel like I put my heart and soul into my assignments and so did L and T but they got A's in their work whereas I got C's for doing the exact same amount and effort. Feel like its unfair and puts a downer on my mood buuuuuuuut I'll be positive and of course congratulate them, its just bitter sweet.

Any advice guys???

    Just keep working hard.

    Some people learn and remember things soon than others. But don't underestimate yourself.

    The secret to get ahead is keep giving your best Everytime. Many people get overconfident because they get good marks in just little work and then they make this as a habit and in future their marks keeps falling.

    If you want to perform well then never underestimate yourself and always give your best in every single assignment.

    All of out bests are different, it was the same for me, but i learnt im not good at everything and the things i am good at i thrive at to the point it makes me cocky and raises my ego to a bad level.

    So i guess my advice is, dont be too hard on yourself, your best is **your** best and as long as you know you did that, be proud no matter what grade you get since in the end you did what you can

    Don't bury those frustrations, they're just as valid. I mean I wouldn't blame your friends but perhaps talk to you teacher and see what they problem is! Besides C's are okay, even if we were hoping for better, doesn't mean anything when the teachers ALL have different expectations.
