Most people are striving to be something, or somebody, throughout their lives. Whether it be striving to be the best at their job, or wanting to run a marathon, most people have goals they set out accomplish. I recently took a break from accomplishing anything for three weeks (due to a break in school) and began watching Gossip Girl. I never was interested in such a show, but figured, why the hell not? I became addicted and mostly because of the character Blair Waldorf.
Blair is the most dedicated character to getting what she wants I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Although she is bitchy, and a horrible snob, I admire this character, played by Leighton Meester, very much. Blair never gives up and she accomplishes that for which she is striving. My favorite qualities in Blair are she never apologizes for whom she is and always stays true to herself. I believe these are the two best qualities a person can acquire.
I realize that Gossip Girl is just a show, and probably not the most respected among my peers, but the character Blair Waldorf has something to teach us all. Being on top is something we all dream about at one time or another. Might I suggest instead of dreaming of such things, going for them, and never apologizing for what we have to do to get them. Now, I am not saying to hurt people on the way to the top, but sometimes in order to get what you want, others might have to be knocked down a few notches. There isn't any harm in that, right? Blair wouldn’t think so, and I am inclined to agree with her.
