Facebook is rather amazing.
I’ve connected with folks I thought I’d never hear from again.
The pictures are my favorite part. I love to go through and analyze what I find. It’s second nature. So… for all of my Facebook friends, I apologize in advance (or afterwards, depending on when I did it) for analyzing the hell out of you. It’s just… I can’t help it.
The first time I picked up this book, I was either a junior or senior in high school. And I loved it.
Of course, I didn’t read the whole thing in high school. I read the first section, out of more than a handful of sections. This go around, I read the whole thing. I have several conclusions.
A) This book is not one that a typical high school student will be able to comprehend. I was a pretty bright teenager, but there was no hope for me to have either the attention span or the life knowledge necessary to actually understand the meaning behind a huge part of the book. Nor would it have been interesting to me– or any other high school student, in my opinion. Yet, I liked it enough then to put it on my life list of Things to Do: Finish Crime and Punishment. So I did.
It comes down to the same basic law of evolution that I’ve just described here:
Those who live the lives of their dreams are the ones with the flexibility to overcome the road blocks that fall between them and their goals.
