I think that Lisa Strick's purpose in writing "So What's So Bad About Being So-So" is that things that you enjoy doing should not have to be a competition. I think it is ridiculous when you want to take up quilting, and a neighbor has already mastered it so she tries to tell you all the things you need to do to make your quilting better. When your thinking all I wanted to do was make a blanket for my nephew. The point is why does everything have to be a competition of who can do it better or who knows more about it. Why can't we just do something because we like to anymore.
Competition is everything now days, so many people are competing in things that we used to do as hobbies because we enjoyed it. It seems that now all that matters is if you actually know what your doing or can do it very well. Why can't we just have fun when did it start being so important to be good at what you have fun doing. What I wonder is what the point of all of it is why put your kid in soccer because you think it will be fun for them but it just turns into a huge competition is that really what we want to be teaching our children. I think that we should be able to play a game and not worry about who will win and more about just having fun and getting the exercise. Isn't that whats truly important just having fun doing something that you love doing.
I think you answered the prompt, but I was kind of confused with the order you put things in. I think having the prompt in front of you while writing your blog might help you like it helps me. I could understand you point of view completely and you used good words to describe your story. But I was confused because there wasn't a lot of summary of the article, so I felt like you were just telling me about your personal experiences and your thoughts on the subject. I can defiantly understand where your coming from and completely agree with your perspective on the subject.
