Parting Wisdom

I'm leaving Carpinteria in a few days, so I thought I'd share some of my wisdom before I leave.

How to have a conversation with anyone:
Ask lots of questions.

How to sound smarter:
Always phrase your yes/no questions so that the answer is yes.

How to know if a girl/boy likes you:
Ask them.

How to make a friend:
Find out what they are interested in, and show an interest in that thing by asking questions.

How to brighten someone's day:
Be genuinely excited when they walk into the room.

How to not be shy:
Pretend that you're outgoing. If you do it for long enough, you won't be pretending anymore.

How to be good looking:
Doesn't matter.

How to be healthy:
Turn your life into a workout. Flex while you brush your teeth. Take the stairs. Park far away. When you carry in groceries or take out the trash hold them out perpendicular from your body.

How to speed up time:
Reminisce about the past.

How to slow down time:
Anticipate the future.

How to be awesome:
Always pretend that the things that happened on accident actually happened on purpose.

How to dance:
Find the beat. Move to the beat.

Life is simpler than people make it out to be. Well, I suppose I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe things get more complicated in the future.

If you have parting wisdom that you want to give to me, I'm all ears. :)

  1. Always eat dessert first cause you might not have room for it afteward dinner.


    Always call your mom even if she makes you feel like a little kid... In her eyes you are forever young and that's not such a bad thing.

    Read your bible every day and always talk to God.
