    It is uncomfortable—oftentimes painful—to know yourself well enough to assign yourself a functional criteria for success/failure, but if you can do so, you will know when you screwed up, and you can start learning from your mistakes.

    “KENT WAYNE!  OPEN UP!” I stagger up from my chair and hobble to the door, clicking my walker across the floor of my dorm at Abe Simpson Nursing Home.  Even though I’d like to hurry, I can’t; I’m over a hundred years old. “Hold your horses,” I wheeze.  “I’m coming.” I swing the door open…

    What the romantic night is going on, all you folks who know the sheer, unbridled terror of having to fart in the midst of a swimmingly good date?  (those who play it safe will simply go to the bathroom, but if your middle name is Danger, you’ll go for the silent “Fssshhhh,” close enough to…

    It’s fine to believe in magic and miracles, but perilous to rely on them.  Without a solid base of discipline/critical thinking, character, wisdom, and fortitude cease their development. One could argue it’s a blessing in disguise to not have desirable things “magically”  manifest.

    Oh man, I’ve been studying this accounting final for the last few weeks.  I’m a few minutes late, but that’s okay; my professor allows tardy students to take exams. As I walk up to the classroom, a shiver of dread runs down my backside.  Through the door, I can hear dozens of students retching and…

    What the flying saucer is going on, all you children in adults’ bodies who like to make creepy “oooWEEEOOOO” noises every time your paste-eating friend maows down on a fresh thing of Elmer’s and gabbles on about Lizard People who drag folks into a subterranean hellhole and eats them butthole first?  This is just an…

    From what I’ve seen, many fail to see discipline as a path to strategic excellence.  In acquiring discipline, people set up quantifiable boundaries—neatness, fitness, routine, etiquette—and these are necessary in the beginning, so that one isn’t derailed by their personal cravings.  But IMO, the goal of discipline isn’t to slavishly maintain “respectable” practices; it’s to…

    Mrrrggh…what the hell is that under my back?  I roll over in bed, reach behind me, and grab something mushy.  I hold it up to see what it is. A half-eaten protein bar that I fell asleep on!  I sit up and chew its masterfully mixed, whey-protein-isolate nougat deliciousness.  MMM!  Breakfast! (yes, I’ve done this…
