Can you really start again?

I freely admit that I used to lack effort in everything I did; I am by nature a lazy person and this showed in my activities. Everything was done to an acceptable standard, but nothing came close to my potential.

However, I changed for the better a few years ago and, since then, it's noticeable that things have increased dramatically ... but still, even now, when things go wrong (and they do; no one is perfect), people make snide remarks like, "Don't worry - it's not like it represents hours of effort".

When will people acknowledge that I am a better person, or even will they? Can I really start again?
