You know what - I do think I define myself by my achievements. Ever since school - being able to come with a great report card, or scoring 100% in a test, or being dux of my primary school - these were all things that I could be proud of, and my parents could be proud of me.
I don't want to be a mushroom, kept in the dark. I want to be a rose, that people can see blossom
Blackpup - I'm keen to discuss your viewpoints on this further... I think you may have opened my eyes to something...
