Yeah, mine was of horrid quality. They were pretty shoddy by my standards today.

kinda like the circle of life really
Yeah, but nobody has do die first

And now, to add something!

You know that saying," Practice makes perfect" ? well, it makes excellence. We all should strive to do our personal best, but if we aim too high we are opt to miss it entirely.

"The Problem is not that we aim to high and miss it, but we aim too low and it it-" Bastian...uhmmmm... What was his last name?! Anywas, it's the sculpter from Fulgrim.

Strive to do your best, but aim too high and we seek to disappoint ourselves. Aim too low and we risk actually making our expectations with a bad model.

That's my two cents worth for now, bwahaha
