Sometimes,...Life is a slog, is an understatement. <br />Sometimes, I have even remarked to students that if they think that the science class is hard and, therefore, they are dropping it, well, life will be one hard knock after another and there is only so much that we can drop.<br />Sometimes I wonder if I am saying such things because I am OLD or if what I am saying is really the case. You know, I am beginning to seriously wonder, when I am consistently off the majority path!<br /><br />Yes, there is a huge difference between ambition and daydreaming. To merely go through the motions without an idea of a larger goal, well, that is one awfully unexamined life. How to make the younger folks understand all these, right?<br /><br />Why am I asking you that, when you are comfy on your retired butt and getting all set for fooooooooootbaaaaaaaaaal!!! ;)Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-63285104255014372192014-06-10T19:30:44.391-07:002014-06-10T19:30:44.391-07:00What have you got against sitting on one's but...What have you got against sitting on one's butt ?? I can vouch for it, with personal experience, that it is a delightful occupation :):)<br /><br />Indeed, all this dreaming is not great. I gag too, when the young are advised to shoot for the stars. Bullshit - has anyone tried to shoot for the stars - you'll not even reach Mt Everest, fall back flat on your ass and then spend a fair time in the occupation that seems to be your pet peeve !!<br /><br />Life is a slog indeed. But coupled with a reasonable ambition, the slog enables you to reach somewhere.<br /><br />Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.com
