Perspective and Attitude

Today I got a C+ on my math quiz.  That's pretty rare for someone who usually doesn't have much trouble earning A's.  It was tough - the quiz and dealing with getting a C+ - but I was grateful for a broader perspective.  I knew that in 5 or 10 years (or probably a month to be honest) this quiz wouldn't matter at all.  I didn't let it ruin my day or my self-esteem.  I'm glad my self worth isn't tied to grades and that I can bounce back quickly from disappointment.  All I had to do was view this 32 point math quiz in the bigger picture to know that it was insignificant.
I've also been learning that life is all about attitude!  I wish that were easy to explain but you have to live it to find out!
