In high school and college, I gathered a number of medals for marksmanship, but I have long since abandoned this activity, having concluded that the world would be a better place with fewer sharpshooters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.
Quality is pride of workmanship.
Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.
The sharp employ the sharp.
Medals don't suit me. I'm not that kind of guy.
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
It's important to collect unusual characters. It keeps you sharp.
There are great disciplines from being a sportsman that you can transfer into being an artist. The preparation, the sacrifice, the constant desire to improve.
Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life... just one. Our life. We have nothing else.
I feel it's important to make a mark somewhere.
