It is as if they said to themselves, "I need to solo by ten hours or I'm a failure." When they can't meet the expectation they get into a mental downward spiral whereby they convince themselves they are no good. Then the self-fulfilling prophecy kicks in.
I do not have a specific time
I hate planning things, because things never go as planned. I am just making my through it. My instructor said I should be ready by hour 7 or 8.
If not, no skin off my back. That is just one more hours to log heh heh.
So I guess I will get my instrument then.
