Being Smart Isn't for Competitions (Or Just a Tool)

Hey, everyone. Can you believe it's Friday? I cannot wait to relax as much as I can. Honestly, I've been a wreck. I'm trying my best to write stories down.

Speaking of stories-- just a little update --I've been working on both my book and my Halloween short story. I'm trying to go back and for to, not only keep the brain flow for more ideas, but also to work hard to reach my goal.

Anyway, I wanted to share you all about my past experiences, one that is more relevant to me and it's still is today. I don't where to begin.

Actually, maybe I can. But let me ask you a question. How many of you have been inadvertently get into a competition with someone?

I'm sure many have been. Me, get into it when I was young and they weren't fun. In fact, I had been forced to do competitions back when I was a little kid. I mean, parents thought it would be fun. But to me, it wasn't. And it wasn't just talent competitions, but also testing competitions in Sunday school. And, if you get the highest rank in your grade, you can get an award. And the best part (wait for it). If you get the lowest and didn't get the any awards, people feel ashamed of you!

Hey, do you expect me to automatically be smart at a young age? Heck, I didn't get any good teachers back then. They didn't teach me about the Bible, nor did they make the lessons into simplest terms. The saddest part was that the teacher gave up on me, and all I had to do was sit there and do nothing.

That was the sad truth about my life, and its painful to share it with all of you. And it's hard to believe, coming from an author who had a GPA of 4.0, but that's because I progressed and had some help along the way. But I still didn't do well on Sunday school. ^^;

And even though I'm smart, it can be both a blessing and a curse. From high school, I had been used to help friends and classmates to get answers for their work. I get tired when people claimed that they're my friends.

The point that I'm making is that having do competitions like that kind of sucks you up dry, and the church that I go to would want recognition when it comes to competitions. That's why I never appreciate competitions, nor do I participate in them. And if you try to give me an award, I'll probably cringe because I hate being on the spotlight. I mean, I don't mind the recognition and getting the award, but I don't want to make it a big deal.

So what do I use it for, instead? For the good of humanity that's what.

So now you know the interesting fact about me. Please make sure to be up-to-date with my blogs for any information about my books. Oh, and today's your last chance to get book on an affordable price (Well, $4.99 is still a good price for an ebook). Sales end tomorrow!
