I so don’t know why you even struggled with going for it!! I’m so glad you decided to do it. You are one fantastic person and I think you would be a kick to watch.

I love the rounding up concept. I’d never heard that before and it certainly makes sense. Women, and especially more ‘mature’ women were consciously and subconsciously taught that success was for men. And staying home and running the home front was not something that could be quantified as a ‘success’ so women never got into the habit (comfort) of being successful. You certainly shouldn’t be smarter than a boy because then no boy would ever like you. These ideas were perpetuated so that, as you said, women were not afraid to fail, but afraid to be successful. I don’t think this is just gender based either. I think that there is a whole racial perpetuation as well of this same concept.

But I think I’ll go have some tequila…

Thank you Susan. If I make it onto the program I’ll be torn between hiring sky writers and hiding in a hole. Maybe I’ll hire the sky writers and watch from the hole

Wonderful Kerry! Good luck and I might just have to find a TV to watch so I can see you when you get on! Your statement about rounding down is so true for many of us. For me, I am always discounting what I have done and looking at all the things I have to do yet as a sign that I am not a success! My daily to do list is always too long. Sometimes I just go back to the list at the end of the day and add all the things I did that were not on the list just so I can cross them off and remind myself of just how awesome I really am!

I hear you – 100% is what we’re trained to strive for. 100% on tests, A+ in school, excellent on performance reviews. Then I look around and notice that many successful people aren’t 100%-ers. I think it’s a line from a movie (not sure) that goes something like: “Someday all you A students will find yourselves working for the C students.” Accepting that good enough IS actually good enough is a surprisingly difficult thing to do.

Thank you. We are so programmed to favor the negative, but life is so much better when we favor the positive. So, round up, choose happiness. It’s contagious, become a carrier.

Thank you for the good wishes The on-line test is this evening. Passing that is the first step and one of the few that isn’t governed by the luck of the draw. I’m excited.

Rounding up is such an easy concept to recognize and remember that I’m finding it very influential in my day to day life. It crops up all over the place and helps me make better, more pro-Kerry decisions.
