The Average Mind Part V

Ok, this may not be the average mind, but it sure is how mind works. I just didn't have a better name for it. Sue me.
People, this may sound crazy, so I want you to read this laying down-- the fall from getting a heart attack won't hurt as much. I actually may have a talent for basketball. Sick as it sounds, it just may be true. My friends and I have discovered that I am good at basketball. Ok, fine. But one question remains: why do I do so horribly in gym?
Well, I finally have an answer. I play simply FOR FUN. Emphasize on the last two words. When I am playing with my friends, there is no pressure. I am free to suck. Why? Because I know that they don't care--and if they do, they're smart enough to keep it to themselves. When I play in gym, I'm not having fun. Because there is stress to win.
If I'm playing for fun, I don't care if I win or lose. I'm enjoying myself. In contrast, gym is all about winning. If you don't win, you suck.
This is probably one of the reasons I have no insentive to want to go to gym. Or try out for basketball team.
How interesting...
