You are absolutely right! But somewhere along the line you start to take pride in your accomplishments and realize that while the gold medals are certainly nice to receive, it's the process of getting there that is just as important.

We had a "Mudslide Madness Meeting" last night (non-alcoholic) to celebrate the completion of a robot before ship date; the submission of a Chairman's Award on time; the submission of the Website on time (which took some work to update); and the submission of an animation by a freshman who pulled her first FIRST-all-nighter in order to complete it on time! These are great accomplishments!

And I agree, the posts I've been reading are less critical than in previous years.
