It seems so easy, but it truly is one of the hardest things to do. "Giving an A" is about encouraging and supporting yourself and others. This chapter made me think of my brother. Since we were tiny kids, he has always had crazy business ideas. My whole family and many of his friends have always talked him out of following through with any of these ideas because we are scared of failure. I wonder what would have happened if we would have encouraged him to follow through with any of his ideas? This theory of "giving an A" applies to ourselves also. I caught myself doubting my ability to play soccer today because it was my second game with a new team and I am way more out of shape than any human should ever be. Then I realized that I was already talking myself out of wanting to play. Of course, if I went in there with the idea that I didn't have any place there and I was just wasting time, I would do horrible. Luckily, since I had already read most of this book, I picked myself up, reminded myself that I could do it, and it would go well. That is exactly what happened. It went well.
