Words of Wisdom



My parents posted this excerpt from Dragnet to their Facebook page recently.  I found the message incredibly insightful.  Something that I find difficult in my life is to keep things in perspective.  Experience matters.  And, it makes a huge difference on how we view the world and our everyday lives.  If we don’t go through hardships, we would never appreciate the good things in our lives. 

Yeah, there are days when I seriously hate my job.  But, when I stop and look back at all of the horrible jobs I’ve had in the past, my job, even on a really bad and stressful day, is really great.  I actually enjoy what I do.  And, for the first time in my life I feel like I have a purpose and contribute to the business of my company. 

Instead of looking at those stressful days, where it feels like the whole world is against you, as a bad day.  I plan to look at those days as a day of personal growth, and be grateful for the experience.

Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...
