Well, figure skating is an expensive sport. Do you know whether Katy's family is any richer than others? (If so, is this bad? -- doesn't everyone strive for financial success?)
And aFortunately, impressions and perceptions from TV don't matter to those who are privileged to know Katy in real life. Thanks for the interview, Paula!
to you, too, Sylvia.
) If she skates well (extending farther back with her toe-picking on the toe jumps would be a good start; she does have nice, fast, centered spins, though she can improve on her layback position), then I can enjoy her skating without wanting her to be my friend!
touche pussycat!!! I'm simply one of those people who think of good, honest hard work as a virtue... but I definately see your point on the above - Washington D.C. is filled with 'em...)I don't think everything my mom said was totally wise, but she did say something to me that I will always remember (translated roughly from Chinese): "in terms of self-improvement, you should always look up to people who are more successful; in terms of material posessions, you should always look at people who have less than you. Otherwise, you will never be able to live up to your potentials fully, and make yourself miserable with what material posessions you lack." A B+ was unacceptable in my house.
Luckily for my children, my husband grew up under the lazy Mediterranean sun, and he believes in happiness more than self-achievement. A good anti-dote to my Chinese perfectionism, no doubt.
