Mind over Matter.

If you don't mind.

It don't matter.

That makes sense actually. But at my age I got stuff like education and stuff so that's sort of important since that matters.

It's your life man.
Until you join the Corps.

It's basically saying-Don't over stress it, not to blow it off.

Well boot camp is pretty much testing you as to how well you can follow orders under tons and tons of pressure. Simulated combat scenario so it's gotta be made to stress you out.

You take it as it comes, you learn to deal with it or you don't. Worry about one thing at a time, complete the evalution and move on to the next.

Really it seems to me that you worry to much about failure.

I do... actually. Because I use to get yelled at all the time by my parents for getting bad grades in math and I just get nervous about failures like that.

You can mentally set yourself up for failure if you let yourself.

The best thing is to always do your best. If you doyour best and fail, there is nothing to be stressed about, because you have done the maaximum possible and there is no more to do.
