As a career-led mother's child, this is my direct experience and feelings. I live with my grandmother until 4 years old. Later, when I lived in the city with my parents, most of the weekend went to school, but I stayed at my mother 's shop or stayed home while watching TV. I started learning when I was studying and when my parents started working in high school I went to school in the morning and slept at night. When I was sixteen I went to college alone in America. I am not careful about my problems Compared with my friends, I do not have homesickness.

I grew up to be an excessive life. I am always promised to be perfection and greatness, constantly never satisfied with myself or what I did. There is a difference between being super successful and being diligent. Working hard will satisfy you, but excessive efforts will never satisfy you. Overtrainers tend to feel more stress and anxiety than general people. First of all, please let us know if you are a super nice person? This is a big problem. What do you want to do? Not only do you do your best, are you doing anything better than anyone else? This can be friends, advance your work project, maintain and decorate your home, give the best gifts to Christmas, provide the most valuable cake at your child's school etc Things etc. You set a very high standard for yourself (in most cases you set the standards for others). You want to be excellent not only in success but in these areas. But the truth is that achieving too high often results in true success.
