I'm in college and trying to keep up with my studies as much as I can. Whether it's past or fail, all we can do is do our best

Thanks for the kind words. Very true what you wrote. Even if you fail a class or more, don't give up.

You sure about that? I mean my absolute maximum effort would probably kill me. Maybe what we should say is, "all we can do is try pretty hard but somewhat less than our best, most of the time".

"the absolute maximum effort short of putting you in mortal danger or up until it is no longer worth it", more like it.

Don't say that. That would mean you give up on everything

It is always hard to know what my best really is, and a personal best is not a static thing; what a person is capable can expand. So I am always trying to push myself to the edge and then keep trying to do more . . . and I'm not always sure when I'm pushing myself too hard, and when I'm not pushing myself hard enough for maximal self-improvement.
