Life gives everyone the possibility to choose. You can be satisfied with being mediocrity, if that's your wish, but if you are not - here's some for you... There are always a lot of" silly jokes" about the average person, but you've got to face it. Most people are average. How often do you drive a different road, just to break the boring everyday routine? How often do you go to a new store to buy your food? How often do you start talking to new people just to get some new ideas, and new views on a subject? Probably you are one of these average persons, running around in the same old tracks that you've always done, your family always did, and that your kids will adapt to. Lets go out and try something new! To get some new impressions, some new ideas, to break free. Take the courage to go to the party one of your friend invited you to, even though you know that you've only met one or none of the people there. Do something to break the pattern, break the very predictable everyday routine. Don't be afraid of things you don't know anything about. I don't mean that you should try drugs or do anything like that. Because (I hope) you know that's bad for you, both physically and mentally. But there is no harm in breaking the pattern, to try another track. Have you ever thought about all the people around you, how they all are the same? I once read something like "the graveyards are full of irreplaceable people", but I have to disagree with that. Wherever I go, in my country or in someone else's - people are all the same. Of course, in Sweden we speak Swedish and in China they speak Chinese. In the big US of A, the country of the individualists, average people are everywhere. Even though differences in cultures are easy to find, face the facts: most people are average. Don't be afraid to let go of someone or something that doesn't fit you. Cause if you don't -there's probably not going to be space nor time enough for things that you really like. You will probably lose a lot of opportunities. People you don't know, that you never give a chance could be a lot better than the friends you have now. Be selective, life is short. Don't do things for others. With this I don't mean that you shouldn't help your friends or old ladies across the streets. Of course, if you like that, keep on doing it, as it can't hurt to be nice. No, my point is that you shouldn't try to live someone else's life. Everyone is responsible for their own life. And, be sure, you don't help anyone by trying. When I was a kid, I had a big problem, refusing to think like all the others, not trying to fit in. But then it was okey, I was just called odd. Then, when I was growing older I started to get problems. People don't like you for being different because you remind them (or you make them aware) of how common they are. I don't mean that there is something wrong with being average, most people are happy like that, I guess. But if you are not - try something new. Don't fight life, don't fight changes. Don't be afraid. Open your eyes, try to see the opportunities. Sure, some changes are bad, but you can't really judge that without trying. You probably all heard "Even the longest journey starts with a first step". I don't suggest that you should change your hole life. But try to do some changes, every now and then, just to make sure you are on the right track. Cause even if you are totally satisfied with your life, try something new, just to be sure that you are not missing out of something. You don't have to do anything stupid as cheat on the one you love just because you want to be sure she/he is the one. That's not my point, but why not take your loved one out to a new restaurant even though" you always gone to ......"It might help your loved one to broaden his/her mind. I think it's important to grow, and changes often help you to grow, so try to do it together. And whatever you think about the meaning with our lives here on earth, why not collect as much knowledge as possible, we might need it somewhere else. And knowledge isn't a heavy burden, or what do you think? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #292 Underground eXperts United 1996 uXu #292 Call CLU 'PUTERNET -> +1-515-232-7631 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
