What would you do?

So while I fix my blog, I thought I would share this thought-provoking (albeit random) quote that I stumbled upon while I was flicking through one of my cousin's photo albums on fb. I believe it was taken at the University of British Columbia in Canada:



Simple as it is, it really moved me, no actually - scared me - when I first read it. I'm a massive control freak - I spend a lot of time finding out exactly what happened, what's happening and what's about to happen. But this... this... this just challenged me in such a peculiar way. I have an exam tomorrow and I know there are going to be a lot of questions that I won't know how to answer. But all that is just trivial compared to this question. I really don't know how to answer this one. What would you do?

    It's amazing. If your expectation is that you'll succeed despite any mistakes made, your outlook is different. If your expectation is that things will not work out the way you want them to, either they don't, or you're surprised when they do. Expecting that you will prevail... is a new idea to me too.

    Bingo! That's excactly what I was trying to get at, but you wrote it ever so neatly. It's sad that we expect so little of ourselves :-(
