Re: Leap, Fly, and Learn

ken this a very heartfelt piece, and thanks for posting it!

i am pretty much finished with my 2nd year of college...(wow, never thought id say that) and im currently on a co-op (where i work for 6 months at a company, as if it was a real job). the guys here have all been through their college years, and now they work at this place called 'tool.' ( www.toolinc.com ). ill go grab lunch some days and get a couple of slices and a coke. ill come back to the office and eat it, only to be ridiculed by these guys (in a joking sense) that i eat so unhealthy, and blah blah, not that eating healthy is a bad thing.

the point is...i always tell them, well i figured if im going to eat junk, while not do it while im still young and my metabolism is high. this is just one of the few things ive noticed about gradually getting moved into the 'real world'.

the thing i always try to do no matter what is have fun. if we get into some argument at robotics, or if i get in a fight with one of my roommates or soemthing ill step back, take a breath, and try to make light of the situation. you gotta have have fun with what your doing, or you wont be doing it for long.

if your having fun while "leaping, flying and learning" than you will no doubt be succesful in whatever you do.
