On life's little lessons in 2006
It's been a happy, happy new year so far.
Lessons on looking back at 2006..
On driving and cars
- Never follow so closely - especially on a sloping road. You never know if the fucker in front would stop abruptly.
- Do take some time to wash your own car at least once a week - it's a wonderful time to check wear & tear, as well as for self reflection
On friends and relationships
- Always speak up about what you feel regarding the friendship. There's no point in holding it in and being tormented while enduring certain facets you don't like. Giving praise where it's due helps too.
- When dealing with indecision - learn to listen, but offer your own opinion as well. With strong justification, people would listen to you. When it just can't be helped and you feel too strongly about your own path - just go ahead and excuse yourself - it's a lot easier all round.
On work and skills
- Don't be afraid to try something new and tough. In order to earn that credential, you've got to just step up and try a new task. Once you've tried it, your value would grow, even if you didn't succeed massively. The experience would take you further.. and it would feel better.
