You know, I've been thinking...maybe there is no such thing as an overachiever. I get called an overachiever sometimes, because I'll get an assignment that was due on Friday, done on Tuesday and turn it in Wednesday morning. But what if I'm not really an overachiever?
I know what I'm capable of. I know what I can achieve. And if I go ahead and do what I know what I can achieve, aren't I achieving just right? The only way to overachieve would be if I achieved something I wasn't capable of achieving...which would be impossible, because it's something I'm not capable of achieving.
So, maybe, when you think about it, you're underachieving when you know what you COULD achieve, but decide NOT to achieve it or even to try it, because you're too lazy to, or because you think you'll get made fun of. There's no such thing as overachieving, only underachieving and just-right-achieving.
