Quote:B2B, I'm happy for you.  I really do hope you're doing great as a college student.  And I have no doubt that you are.  I wish you the best in your degree.

 

But to be critical about a professional football player that has gotten to a level of success that I doubt any of us will get to in our own professions just makes you look silly.  That's all I'm saying.  Yeah, these NFL players are just physically superior than all of us.  But most of them take it seriously.  You and I should not attack an athlete for writing his thoughts after a long day of practice.  It's not your place to question his dedication.  

 

Just like it is not my place to question your academic endeavors.  But if you're gonna throw critiques on a person's passion, expect the same back to you.  That's all I'm saying.  Success within life is more than just work.  Success includes balance.  As a student, I'm sure you realize that.  You are not studying all the time.  Otherwise you'd not have posted anything in the Jungle.

 

I'm sure you are a great student.  I'm also sure you will be successful in your endeavors.  But I'm not gonna call you out as a slacker for doing something in your free time.  Just like you shouldn't call someone else out for having some down time after busting their butts.  

 

Good luck to you!  Don't quite your degree.  A Bachelors is important in this day and age.  But don't for one second think that you have the right to ever question someone else's drive.  Otherwise, you best look in the mirror and figure out why you aren't a part of the .001%...  

 

Some are gifted.  Some work hard.  Some are just average.  Some need help.  But we should all be pulling in the same direction.
