Greatness
I just took my last final for the semester. It wasn't much of a final since it was more of a presentation of our digital art. Looking at other people's presentations really humble me.

And with the input for the professors of my other classes, I'm realizing this: Greatness involves three times the effort of what you consider to be just good. All semester, I've been submitting what I consider to be "good." However, nothing is what I think is great. Others may beg to differ, but I really think more could have come out of me.

Now, what do I mean by "effort"? Keep in mind that I mean that "effort" means more than simply the amount of time spent in something. It could also be the amount of intensity or commitment to producing a really nice product. Here's an example: I've seen a person put in two hours of work into something that was absolutely astounding. Contrast this with me putting in 6 hours of work into something and producing something not nearly as impressive. The difference? I can tell the person had a much more serious approach in the project with a whole lot of passion for it. Me? For a lot of the times, I was only interested in getting things done. Food for thought...
