"Carrying your own weight is far more satisfying than running free while others carry it for you. "

One time while getting my hair cut my hairdresser said that he needed to re consider all his friends. He said that they were dragging him down and that sometimes you need to take a look at your life and get rid of certain people or change those relationships.

I was thinking about this in class because we all received an A+ in a course and i know that 99% of us don't feel as if this one person deserves an A+. I'm upset because there a few people sitting around this conference table that don't deserve to be here. We as groups are literally dragging these people through this program as they grasp onto our heels begging for help. there are other people who have too many exceptions, cant ever meet cause of religious holidays or cant take initiative cause of underlying conditions. It wouldn't be stylistic to go out and tell the Prof about these situations because as far as i know being the rat gets you into more trouble then staying quiet. There are situations like this in our personal lives as well. Some of us are always attending to another's needs, accommodating another, picking up all the loose ends of their life that they cannot.

Sometimes its easy to change the relationship you have with these people by just ending them, in school its a little bit harder. Id like to think that when it comes down to it, these people will be given a real job and not be able to do it on their own. However i think that sometimes we should all end relationships with those people who are holding us back in anyway or making our life any more difficult than it should be.
