Wish for a Leader
I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up new ideas, planning it, organizing it, and following it to completion, and then have it be magnificently successful. I also hope you'll go through the same process and have something "bomb."
I wish you could know how it feels "to run" with all your heart and lose...horribly!
I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of investing your life with it.
I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to begin to push back the very barriers of your own personal limitations.
I hope you make a stupid mistake and get caught red-handed and are big enough to say those magic words: "I was wrong."
I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it's worth all the effort.
I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and life.
I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would.

I really love this. I can definitely say for the most part your wish has come true. I know how it feels to push so hard, and fight for things, and then come up short. Or to get so much criticism that it causes me to work so much harder. And I definitely taken the things that use to limit me, and crushed them. All because of my sorority. Best and worst times of my life. Funny how the worst times can turn into the best lessons.

I SO SO agree with this. I never understood the value of harsh crisiticm because I used to be all about self esteem and confidence. But then I took this writing class and she was the hardest grader I'd ever had. I'd never gotten a B- in my life before. And I got that first B-, and I worked harder than I'd ever worked in my life before, and I got an A- on the next one. Getting higher grades, a promotion, winning an election, whatever it is, is SO much sweeter when it's acheived under a critical eye. I have never learned more than I learned with this professor because I had to fight so hard.
