Signs

A sweet distraction.

One too many thinks

Something i read made me think:
Most successful people do not worry too much about what will happen in future. They reflect on all the things they have already done.

Something someone asked me made me think:
He asked if I would accept a girl that has a past.
 
Something i wished i hadn't read made me think:
If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it.

Something i said made me think.
I wish I hadnt said anything. Then I would have one less thing to think about.

The Degree

Here's an excerpt from a book im reading.

"Most of my friends, and most of my friends' children, also have degrees. That doesnt mean that they've managed to find the kind of work they wanted. Not at all.

They went to university because someone, at a time when universities were important, said that, in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree.

And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers. Perhaps this is the moment to review the situation. Doctors, engineers, scientists, and lawyers need to go to university, but does everyone?

I'll let these lines by Robert Frost provide the answer:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

.......Like the Flowing River by Paulo Coelho

As much as I love reading Paulo Coelho's work, I hate it when i reach a dead end figuring out the message he intended to put across.

A week of rest

I think.

I plan.

I analyze.

I organize.

I see the big picture.

But i never seem to be able to execute my plans as quickly as i should.
