Assertion Journal

In response to http://thisibelieve.org/essay/8692/ by Mark in New Jersey

I don't agree with the statement that people should learn to accept their limitations. Accepting your limitations is just another way to say giving up. The limitations that Mark is talking about are just boundaries that we set for ourselves, and there is no way to tell if we can ever be better than them but to try. It is ok not to know things, but to just accept that and move on denies you the opportunity to expand what you know. The key to being content with not knowing all the answers is finding something new every day. Finding new stuff that you are genuinely interested in is enough to keep that hope alive. I spend a lot of time with guys blowing stuff up and riding a gokart and doing other seemingly stupid stuff just because its fun and its better than sitting around doing nothing. Life is all about expanding what you know, and there really are no limitations.
