I should not be judged by a standard that's not applied to everyone else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People want to be liked by other people, so they adopt other people's standards, but for me, my standard had always been true.
The deal is that I hold myself to an extremely high standard, and it's a standard that can never be... it's unattainable. But it drives me to be the very best in everything I do.
I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.
I think you need to have people around you whose standard is high and who don't accept anything less.
Not everyone's high standards have to be the same thing.
What matters is that you are doing what you think is right based on the standards which you hold.
When the world becomes standard, I will start caring about standards.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
Without sounding pompous, I really do feel that I have a set of standards that I must adhere to, even leaving aside considerations of what the readers expect.
