"Look
at that overachiever!"
If you
want to know what I hate the most, it's people who shame
other people who work harder than them by calling them
overachievers. "Overachievers" in reality, are just
people with goals who are willing to work hard to accomplish
them. People need to stop validating their laziness by calling
out on others who actually put in the effort to make a
difference in their life. You are literally turning
someone's ambition into a bad thing. Do you know how many
times I've heard someone mock another kid in my class for
being an overachiever because they started studying for a big
test a week before it happened, and then complained when that
person got a 97 and they failed by a point? Or when someone
laughs at another person on their track team for going so hard
in the workouts, but then they're completely shocked when
that person beats them in a race? Or when the second string
player who you and your friends taunted for staying an extra
hour on the field after practice because "they like
don't even have any talent anyway," replaces you in
the first string? How about when that girl who was harassed for
going to the gym everyday because "She's never going
to be skinny anyway," suddenly has the nicest body in the
school? If your goals mean something to do, work you
allss off for them no
matter what anybody says. Then you can say fullck you to those people who called you
an overachiever when you come in first place over them, when
you get into
their dream
school and they don't, when you get so fit they can only
dream of having your body, when you get that last spot on
varsity over them, when your goal is finally accomplished.
Just always remember, "hard work beats talent when
talent doesn't work hard."
