It's silly how there have been so many "lessons" in life that have taught me that small problems eventually become big problems if not taken care of, yet I still don't take initiative to fix those problems. I still haven't done things that I've promised myself and others to do, such as creating a solid time schedule, sorting out my priorities, and taking care of commitments to projects.
Countless times I've tried to learn from my mistakes and apply them to my life so that I'll never have to go through another mistake again, and for some problems, it's worked out to my advantage, but for the most part, it's backfired.
The Book Of My Life
A friend asked me a question a while back. I was surprised that nobody has asked me that question, and I had never asked that question before. It seemed like one of those questions that everybody has asked or answered at least once.
That question is, "If somebody gave you a book about your whole life, would you read the end?"
Honestly, I didn't want to show any hesitation in my answer, so I quickly replied that I would read the end. However, that leads me to two more "branches" of thought.
If I had read the ending, wouldn't that change the book as I read it? That would mean that no matter how many books of my life that I'm given, I will never know how I die before I actually die.
The second question is about my whole life. Is this one delicately planned out thing, all in control of my fate? No matter what I do, will I always reach the same ending? This is just another question to add to my list of questions that will probably never be solved.
Yours Truly, Kevin
My blog used to be updated frequently every few days, but it feels like I'm taking time from it to focus on other things, mainly family, friends, school, and sports. Although this isn't a negative thing at all, I kind of still like to believe that I'll be able to look back at this blog when I'm older and see that it was the right choice to keep it alive. By far this blog has been the most successful out of all my "projects" because this is more for myself than anybody else. I just put more thought and watch my words in each post because of the people who read this blog.
I'm a solid 9 today. I feel great simply because I finally am on top of my work load and I think that my downhill as finally started sloping up. Anyhow, I'm off to try and sleep until Monday (although that'd be bad since I'm still not done all my work). Thoughts on this post? I think you will enjoy this quote, it tends to make people think.
"Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your way or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out." - Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
