Got it on the second try.\nTrick is, you have to drive like the people you HATE to be stuck behind on the road... 5mph below the speed limit, overly cautious when turning onto another street, basically drive like you were a 70 year old lady.

When you take the tests for your grades do feels that you had no clue or did you just get it wrong, maybe you do not  fully understand the lesson, I am assuming you do STUDY.  Try writing down your not of key points and review the night your test.  Try a study buddy, ask each other questions on the material.  Good luck, don't give up. Knowledge is power.

The good thing about life is that as long as you're living, there's time to start over.  It sounds like you're doing that.  Be patient, persevere, and go after your goals no matter what it takes.  Good luck.

You've practised, you have your times all down, you know you can make it. So it is time to believe in yourself. Take your time and meditate, or pray before the show starts. So once you're out there enjoy your run, run like hell and give a show! I know about competing under pressure, though in a different sport (dressage). A trick that works for me is consciously thinking about every step I'm going through and making it the best, (forgetting the rest) and on the other hand performing for my public, giving 'em a show! I hope something works for you. Good luck!

Take things at a slower pace and remember that sometimes YOU come first!  Put it all down and leave..... (Once in a while- you deserve it)

it is hard. sometimes it seems like you'll never get ahead.\nI'm married with a child, we don't get any aid and we have tried hard to stay debt free, it isn't easy!\nthere is always a way though, and someday you'll be able to tell your kids how hard it was in the old days:)\n\nthere are more people to support, that's the only reason they get more money.

If you believe in yourself, i have experienced it in my life, don't work under anyone. Start your own one and see where life takes you. Initially, you may have some financial problems but tackle them and you'll reach your goal very soon.

Yes, I lose against myself by default all the time if I ever play.  I quit before I can get them all in.

You are probably moving a bit too fast or in an awkward manner.\n\nSlow down, take your time and get your head out of the gutter.  Next thing you know, things will just happen.

You're in the same place you were in before you overtook the last person.  If you were in first, you're still in first..etc.

You can always promise to make up for your lack of being able to finish in time but try to give enough warning next time. It is giving time give him something that your are good at.

First of all keep your head up. You've got to believe in yourself. Get a basic low paying job to start. Find a true friend who can put you up temporarily and work your way up. Your drive and desire will pull you through. God bless you.

Well, the plainest way to say this is that you don't improve motivation.'  You just get up and do.  In my opinion there are two basic ways of approaching everything; Enjoy yourself getting 'it' done now or being miserable and procastinating.  The sooner you get up and do something the sooner you realize that your good at it, it was fun, and surprisingly not that big of a deal.
