Don't let me down (Comment on Albert's blog)

   Letting someone down is basically when you disappoint someone by the fact that you were supposed to do something or take a responsibility and you didn't show up your effort or even tried. There are a lot of people who always trust in me, and as a person, I try to do my best every time in whatever I do in order to make them proud. It is a great example to consider a family with their children growing up to see the real meaning of this expression.

   In many cases we try not to disappoint our parents by doing more effort than we can in the daily tasks and problems we face as human beings. As teenagers we think (at least in my case), that giving a stunning performance in university, or tidying up our entire room everyday should be enough to make them happy, but that's not the point. An achievement in school, or a trophy in a sport, doesn't define how hard we've tried and how far we've gone, and they know.

   In my opinion, personal success is not correlated to a material thing, it's just showing yourself what you are capable of. And that's Albert's aim I guess. When he says "Try shadowing me, not just repeating what I am saying, but making the effort that I do for you.", he wants us to show him that if we put a bit of effort we can achieve great things, but also and most important improve every single day a little, which will make a huge advance as the months go by.

   Actually, there are different points of view about this expression, but what is true is, that if we do our best at everything we do, we won't regret for sure, and that's the most important thing, not letting ourselves down.
