I'm 17.. :wink: And I think we all go through one wild stage...

I actually became more disciplined when i was dumped into round after round of sailing competitions. I realised that if i really loved sailing, than i wanted to make a mark for myself in the sailing world. So i learnt to discipline myself into following a rigid timetable that gave me 4 hours of leisure a week, with the rest of the time devoted in between studying and sailing. :lol: :lol:

And viola, here i am, independent and disciplined. My parents rarely have to nag at me (other than to get out of the house and socialise more... :P ).

However, my method seems to have the following side-effects: social recluse, workerholic, study freak (extremely long stamina). :P :P :P

So at the end of the day(now), i still don't know if i am a sucess or a failure... :wink:
I'm so stupid that I surprise myself sometimes...

Sam, you seem to have a remarkably good head on your shoulders for a 17 yera old and going by your posts, I would definitely say you're a winner.

I'm proud to have made your acquaintance here. 8)
