I believe we see things and judge them through our core values. These values have come from how we were raised or who we chose to relate with in the world. If you were raised to learn from your experiences you will perceive your failures and successes as being something to learn from. This is the way I think I was raised and I am thankful for it. I am fortunate to have a good family to show and create good examples for me. I am content with what I value and how I perceive things.
Mr. Jepson had a good speech that made me think about his lesson about how everything we do is 90/10. He said that 90% of everything we do is controllable by how we react to that 10% we can't control. I took this to the field in my football game playing Grinnell. We lost the game and everyone has someone to blame it seems like. But the thing we need to learn is how to get better from the experience we went through. What we need to focus on is our turnovers and how to control those. Getting better everyday in practice and working together can help us achieve this.
