If you....

want to learn a little bit about yourself, learn to fly. My CFI told me that I put very high expectations on myself and tend to beat myself up when I don't meet them. That I need to relax, shake off the failures, and move on. I never thought that I put high expectations on myself. I am not very competetive, haven't pushed to be at the top of the corporate ladder. I just did my job and that's it--or so I thought. I have spent a lot of time one on one with him, and he has taught a lot of folks to fly, so it interests me that he thinks that. I do stress out when things don't go right, but I never analyzed it at all. The point of all this is that I guess you can learn things about yourself that you had not thought about from unexpected sources. Amen.
