Think Hard

Another 366 days around the sun.

Did you accomplish everything you wanted to? Did you meet everyone you wanted to meet? Experience everything you wanted to experience? Say what you wanted to say? Be who you wanted to be?

Partially. Sometimes. I wonder what I should have done differently in the last year.

What would you change about last year? That's the wrong question to ask ... it's the same as asking what you would change about the earth's orbit. The fact is that you can't change it.

So what's the real question?

What will you do this year? This month? This week? Tomorrow? And most importantly- today? It becomes a math problem, engineer. Today's choices x 365.25 x your life span in years = you. Most people aren't built in a day. Character is built in pieces, ever so small, and they can only be added over long spans of time.

What if I don't know what to do?

That's the other problem, engineer. No black and white, cut and dry, right and wrong. It's all a mix of colors. The only "correct" solution comes when you wake up in the morning, and you're happy with the piece of life you're creating.

Will my TI-89 Platinum do it? I downloaded the extra graphing package.

... just go to class already. And think hard on your choices. Think very, very hard.
