As I sit here in the library I am finding it slightly difficult to wrote this blog. I have had the page open for a while and could not think of a topic so I decided to just start writing. I am sure that my lack of a blog idea is partially related to the fact that I am sitting here with friends. Another part of this inability to write a blog is because I just spent three hours looking at an operations management test that probably went pretty bad. At least in that regard I do not feel alone. As I was taking the test I did the usual glance around the room to see what others where thinking. It seemed pretty unanimous that no one really knew. There wasn't even that usual person in the class that always knows everything. This was slightly reassuring. Still as I sit here blogging away about nothing I have decided that I should at least leave whoever it is that is reading this something worthwhile. As I was looking for something that would be inspiring I came across a quote from my favorite Dr. Seuss book "Oh, the Places You'll Go".
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."
Here is the link to the site I found this quote and many more from various people.
Hmm, if only I had been able to use the Dr. Seuss quote at some earlier point in life. I think too many people don't re-visit what makes the novelty of growing up and exploration so exciting. The chance to doodle around and explore is novelty unto it's own. Okay, that's a real circular statement.
ReplyDeleteI encourage anyone to pursue their curiosities or make up a few of your own. Creativity and life experiences don't land in your lap, they happen because you choose to expose yourself to all kinds of life situations and ask a LOT of questions. Questions don't have to be asked to a person. Merely immersing yourself in a new situation will serve as a way to learn. Don't be ashamed to be the new person at an event, organizations love new visitors, where else will they get new donations from and grow?
Glance into someone else's cart at the grocery story if you are stumped for dinner ideas.
