Is Quality Really A Crime?
So today I was working and I had the TV on in the background. I always keep it on the Disney Channel because I know then that I have good wholesome comedy on all day long while I work. Watching this channel also prevents me from having to flip channels every thirty minutes to find a good show.
Anyways, so this show called "Recess" was on. Great show by the way... It was a re-run because that is all that the Disney Channel does is show re-runs. I have seen this episode probably more than 15 times.... I know kind of sad, but something stuck out today that never really stuck out before. This specific episode focused on a new kid that moved into the neighborhood and began going to school at Third Street Elementary. To make a long story short the kid was perfect at everything. He had been a student to 38 schools since kindergarten, this beat the record of 8 different schools since kindergarten that was currently held by one of the main characters Gus. He got a hard math problem right and Gretchin, the math whiz, got it wrong. He won a foot race to the jungle gym and beat the best athlete Vince, and he one in arm wrestling against Spinelli. He was perfect at everything he did. So everyone got mad at him, except Mikey the poet, who made the statement, "Is Quality Really A Crime?" This was said by Mikey before the perfect kid won a poetry contest later that day that beat Mikey. So TJ Detweiler and the rest of the school created a school wide lockout. This prevented the kid from having any friends, or from being able to do anything. Sad I know.
But lets get to the real point. "Is Quality Really A Crime?"
Often I see in the workplace a real resentment by other individuals when someone else does something that is of quality. Why does this occur? I say it is mainly because a person is jealous of the other's talents. It can be the only logical explanation. But I think if we all just took sometime and stepped back to look at the big picture we would be able to see that the way we think is crazy when we resent another individual's talent. Jealously will get us no where. Instead of being jealous we should be thanking the person for their quality work. I think you get the point. This just hit me today so I felt about writing about it. At the end of the show... Everyone at Third Street Elementary realized that the Perfect Kid was just being himself and that it wasn't right to treat somebody unfairly if the things they do are done with quality or perfection.
When you find yourself feeling jealous about someone else just remember to ask yourself this question - "Is Quality Really A Crime?" I think if you do your outlook on the situation will change.

When someone is better than you at something then you need to yield and try to learn something from them instead of getting mad at them. Once you learn, then you will be better and maybe someday you will prove yourself valient. If you are the one that beats everyone else then this is tragic because you have no one to learn from. This must be horrible for you Phil. You have no one to learn from. Ha...ddubbin!
