compettition leaves scars 1
my past is full of pain and mental suffering from competition! School for me was a real nightmare! Test days made me sick! I would tell my mother, "I'm Sick"! That way, I got to stay home, and would miss the test! My whole childhood was a big mess! All during my school years, especially thru high school(at least 14 years), i was a sad kid! Always a test to fear! Always a paper due, always something to give me more trouble!
Sure, the smartest students just loved tests! The more tests, the more A's! NOT THE REST OF US! People learn differently, everyone is different! If people are all tested, some will always fail!
Jesus taught us to Love. Love and Support are the right ways to go.................................not competition......................................... ..............!
The World, in the end, will be judged by God! Not those who are the best or brightest, will enter into Eternal Life, but only whose who have "really followed Jesus"! A simple reading of The New Testament, tells us these things! Jesus said, "FOLLOW ME"!................................................ .................................................... .................................................... .................................................... .................................................... .................................................... .........................................
