Woman and do it and men can't. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

But I'm also the one who pretends NOT to know how to do anything so that I don't get stuck doing it. hehe. Secondly, I think I could even beat you.... or at least it looked that way from that slaughter I witnessed on Sunday. LOL! :) Firstly, I’m generally the type that doesn’t start things because that way failure and success aren’t even an option.

"If you are ok with losing at something, then you are obviously not passionate about it. ... People who succeed in life are highly focused individuals. They train to win and they don't waste time playing games outside of their focus area." I love that. That is the best advice, Gretchen, that we can give younger girls. Combine that with find what you love. When you find what you love, you do not have to leave notes to yourself to do it or force yourself to schedule time. Doing what we love to do comes naturally and we do it so much because we enjoy it, that in the process, we get good at it! I believe we each have something important to offer that we bring to the community of people - our families - our schools - our work environments - that *no one else* can offer. And, we also have passion about it -- we enjoy it and we are naturally good at it. I am not a competitive person - but being competitive is a strength and in a group setting, having that skill makes you valuable to your community in that way. The things I love I am very good at -- but it doesn't feel like I am good at it because it feels like I am having fun and being myself. Find those things -- learn as much as you can about it -- get as good as you can get -- and share it with the communities you are a part of. If you like to do that in a competitive way, cool. But, do it. I think we are obligated to do so. Good read. Thanks! Amy Nice!

I believe we each have something important to offer that we bring to the community of people – our families – our schools – our work environments – that *no one else* can offer. And, we also have passion about it — we enjoy it and we are naturally good at it.

I am not a competitive person – but being competitive is a strength and in a group setting, having that skill makes you valuable to your community in that way.

The things I love I am very good at — but it doesn’t feel like I am good at it because it feels like I am having fun and being myself. Find those things — learn as much as you can about it — get as good as you can get — and share it with the communities you are a part of.

If you like to do that in a competitive way, cool. But, do it. I think we are obligated to do so.

Good read. Thanks!
