the world is full of mediocrity, don't add to it.
Time is going to pass anyway, might as well be doing something productive (from my mom when I was lamenting going to grad school for a whole TWO MORE YEARS at age 23...bascially she said I can be 25 with a grad degree or I can be 25 without a degree. My choice but god willing I am going to be 25). I always try to remember that whenever the legnth of time becomes a deterrent to me pursuing something. |

| My brother told me this advice about men. He said to pay more attention to what they actually do than to what they say. He was drunk at the time but it is very good advice. Also, my grandfather was fond of telling us that God gave us two ears for listening and only one mouth to speak for a good reason. |
