Thanks Blueskies21 and Planespotta... I appreciate the input.

Blueskies, on the "I'm still talked about in school" comment, I am meaning about how long my CFI checkride was, in that I am still talked about how long it was, and how I got grilled.

So to sum it up, I need to take positive criticism lightly, and definitely tighten up on myself as far as "being all that I could be" (striving for that improvement). Although not my intention, there seems to be a consensus on here that I come across as being arrogant and having a feeling of superiority. Some ways I can fix that are on orals, answer the common answer, and just accept the fact that I am not "that good enough," and know that there is always room to improve. Anything else that I could do? Thanks again for your input.

Thanks again, and while you guys seem worried that your criticisms may be harsh, I'm not bothered, I accept them as reasons for improvement.

shdw: this is a forum, not an English class. I am here for advice on how to fix my habit of busting checkrides, and as it has expanded, fix some fundamentals of my attitude and flying skills. You provided absolutely no advice, to what I can do, so please don't post here at all (ironic that someone else is blatantly being arrogant). If I really wanted to be arrogant-I could point out flaws in your "this is how it should be done" post, but will not, as I need to work on not trying to seem very good, thanks to this thread.
