Quote by Manfred von Richthofen

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work

Summary

This quote reflects a mentality of minimum effort and lack of motivation towards learning. The individual admits to lacking skill in acquiring knowledge and intentionally performs the bare minimum required to pass. They justify this behavior by believing that going beyond the necessary amount of work is unnecessary and essentially wrong. The quote suggests a disinterest in self-improvement and a complacency with mediocrity in their approach to education or any form of learning.

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her, and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death, but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish, which is a double whammy.
