I'm going abroad tomorrow. Seeing how unpopular Americans are recently, these could very well be the last words I evere write. I just wanted to share a few words about how I've lived my life thus far. To put it succinctly, there are two philosophies that I have always subscribed to. The first is by Douglas Adams and the second by Robert Heinlein.
"Don't panic."
"When in danger or in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout."
I realize these two mantras may seem a little contradictory. Well, yes. They are. The whole point is knowing when to follow which. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it and they really do make everything a whole lot easier. That's all I have to say about that.
