the people of new york never give up. every where you go, there is someone who has to get there before you. most people are in such a hurry that they don't even realize what they are doing. case in point: there is a certain intersection where on one corner is the post office and a train station, one corner is a historical site (ny's oldest public building a church in fact) and on another the world trade center construction site. day in and day out construction workers direct traffic there. it's not about the cars but about the morons that decide to cross the street when a semi is four feet away! this is amazing to me, how could so many people make the same stupid choice at the same time? you'd think the planets had to align. how could people that make so many smart career choices make just as many stupid life choices? which brings me to my next point...work.
everyday hundreds, thousands, millions of people go into there office jobs and do their office duty. it dawned on me today that people really go to work everyday and ....(shockingly)...WORK! i know it sounds dumb but i feel like its one of those things you don't think about until it happens to you.
next blog point(smooth intro eh?)
the amazingness that is the book Standing for Something by Gordon B. Hinkley. this book is amazing and though it is taking me forever to read it, i love it.
he talks about changes that everyone should make about society and what it can become if we don't change the patterns that we fall into and realize what is going on around us.
i highly recommend it. i usually hate reading but i love reading this book.
more on my learning later on.
