10 Lessons from 2014
2014 is coming to an end. I don’t normally do a year-end review and reflect on how to be a better person. I welcome the new year by shoving certain memories and mistakes away where I can’t see them and leave it at that. But today is one of those days when life throws class cancellations unexpectedly in my face. I’m suddenly left with a lot of time to kill and I turned to my weapon of choice: words that do not make much sense. So, here goes. (1) Life will punch you in the face and knock you down. Don’t forget to get back up. Give Life a smile that is bloody with a few teeth missing. Ask Life, “Is that all you got?” Spit out the blood and say, “I’m ready for another round.” That’s how you play the game. (2) Sleep is the answer to many diseases: procrasticulosis, Writer’s Block syndrome, Type 2 Lazibetes and examania. (3) You can’t use the excuse “I’m bad at this” or “I suck at this” forever. If that’s the case, why aren’t you doing something to get better?
