It has been quite a while since I was here... :(
I've been pretty busy, writing exams and all... Now, they've come and gone and I can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to blogging with a little more consistency...
Y' know, there's this article by Mary Schmidt that is one of my all time favorites... It's an all-time classic, I guess, and I'd like to share it - who knows what someone out there might gain from it...
The following are some classic lines from the article:
"...Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded...
...Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum...
...Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself...
...Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future...
...Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth..."
What do you think? Any other advice for a young graduate?

These are good starting points. All the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Myne... Long time, well kinda...
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
ReplyDeleteI mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However think
about if you added some great pictures or video clips to
give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could undeniably
be one of the greatest in its field. Excellent blog!
