Introduction Some things I believe: -With the exception of very few things, nothing in life is black and white. And if you think the world is black and white - you aren't thinking. - It is more important to be interested than interesting. - Listen more. Talk less (really working on this one) - Listen and learn from the opposition. Most of us surroung ourselves with like minded people. The result being that we are not encouraged to question our views. Learning about different cultures, customs, religions, political views is critical to grow. Here's the catch... Once you allow yourself to see through other's eyes you quickly descend down the rabbit hole. Life is never again black and white. Opening that door is frightening...makes you question and assess all of your beliefs. The process is scary and turns your life upside down. However, without expanding your mind, you cease to grow. And then what? - Humility is noble trait. - After 30 or so you can no longer blame your parents. It's all on you.
Interests I am interested in everything! ok, not really true. I'm only human. So here are some things that I am not interested in: - watching sports on TV - Discussing sports (especially those on TV) - Discussing the weather (People LOVE to talk about the weather. What's that about? - Cooking (working on it) - beach reads - wondering what Jesus would do Favorite things: - Tavel Travel Travel. It is my favorite form of education. - - Spending endless hours talking about evolutionary biology - Reading great books - The incredibly rare moment when you read a line in a book or hear a song lyric that moves you to the core and changes something in you. - listening to good music - kayaking - Secretly get very excited when I find a people magazine in the doctor's waiting room. I'll never admit it but I really do care about Brangelina... - When a person enters your life and makes a permanent mark (you might know that person for hours or a lifetime). - Collecting cool quotes from famous people
