How high a standard do you hold your self to?

[KukriKhan]

Be hard on yourself, but forgiving of others. Be conservative in personal practices, but liberal in what you accept from others. Hold yourself to high standards, but never have unrealistic expectations of your family and friends.

That's about it.

I flatter myself that I can predict with approximately 66% certainty what x person will do in situation z, after a conversation with Mr. X. Which is about the same success rate as my picks percentage for american football games. This after nearly 60 years breathing air. I'm not rich on my football picks, nor lauded for my advice to Mr X. So I obviously have still, much to learn. And I chide myself for not seeing what should have been obvious, whilst forgiving my friends who suffer the same affliction.

Do you generally feel like you should be better or are you happy just the way you are, and why?

I should be better, because I'v been around so long. It's a shame I wasted so much time sorting out some of the details of my life. Lesson: I should have asked for help. It was available, I just didn't know how to swallow my pride, admit my humanity, and ask.

What about a conversation with Mr. T? How would that change a man?
