I agree totally. I used to be really good academically, have an ok social life and be reasonable at several sports. Then I let the academic slide but have a a better social life (maybe because I can get in pubs/clubs now(Original post by Invisible)
Not sure about you guys, but until this day I know nobody that has solely been happy due to having good grades or good achievements in sport etc - I think happiness stems from the people around you and your enviornment; importantly, family, friends etc.
I consider academic success, sport, etc as add ons.) and steadily improved at sports. To demonstrate, at my school we used to have achievement awards to point out excellence in various areas throughtout the year...
Year 7: Maths (double award), French, Science (double award), Geography, History
Year 11: P.E. (double award), Sporting Achievement (double award)
That's not to say I don't think you can have it all, it's just better to get a decent balance and therefore keeping your options open. Luckily I'm on target for good AS grades (hopefully) and still get to play sport to as high a level as I can without it invading on my social life...Work hard, play hard I say.

Do you believe this is possible and do you know anyone that has managed to do a similar plan?
The 'Excel in Everything' plan is the ultimate lifestyle regime... in which you do your best in everything.
I mean: the highest academic standards in tests and homework in school;the best social life you can possibly live; high levels of fitness and achievement in sport and the list goes on, but you understand the idea. Yes?
I may take up this task but what are your opinions on this.
Im sure in ur World it would...... -

Surely it boils down to being happy - if you're happy with what you've got, then you must have everything (at least everything you want).
