Weekend Wisdom

Living life means being on a constant learning curve. And I'm not talking about learning things like the chemical formula for Glutaminylasparaginylthreonyl. I'm talking about Life Lessons.

We learn something new everyday. That's the good part. The sad part is, we often forget what we have learned. And it's not just because we don't care ... sometimes it's simply because of the logistical challenge posed to us thanks to the plethora of facts already cluttering our mind. Sometimes though, it really is because we quite simply don't care enough.

In the lead upto the New Year, BPC is working on her NYRs (yes yes, the infamous New Year Resolutions) and one of them is to - for a change - learn from my own mistakes.

Henceforth, every weekend will conclude with an analysis of what was done that week (and what of it was right or wrong and why) and while a detailed introspection will be maintained in private, this blog shall feature a brief excerpt in the form of Weekend Wisdom- the source of which might be cause for speculation among the visitors of this blog, and inquiries to the specific nature of which shall not be entertained :)

So read and learn, my humble Padawans.

Weekend Wisdom #001
No matter what you do, there will always be people who will tell you to do other wise. So when you've done something based on your best judgement, resist being pressured into feeling guilty.

Most of all, resist being pressured into doing something to make ammends on what you've done. It seems simple enough: if you haven't broken something, why fix it?

But sometimes, a guilt trip can lead you to try and fix something that's not broken in the first place and you know what happens then?

Lack of sincerity mixes with misguided goodwill and you end up with a Sticky Mess that (if you're lucky) might not swallow you up like quicksand, but it sure as hell will trickle down your back and leave you squirming in your shirt.
