PLN 4

Dear David Warlick In your article “I got a 35 I reckon” I agree with you. Why are we always trying to get a 100? I mean I see that we all want to be the best we can but if we always get a hundred we will never be given the chance to learn or improve. So expecting to get a hundred the first time is not always practical. It’s the things that we do badly at first and then become good at through trying that shapes who we are and builds the incentive to take on new challenges, and try what we may not be good at. So what we should expect instead of getting a 100 every time we try something is that if we want it enough we will be able to get a 100 at it eventually.

Sincerely Jonathan Donhue
