Thefeeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is byfar one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.

I am the kind of person who is sentimental and somewhat of a perfectionist, even in small things. But I know that I do need more self-confidence to see something through to the finish.

I don't remember whether I was under actual pressure to finish the lecture I was working on, or only under self-inflicted pressure to work and succeed.
