Educate, Wants vs Needs

All kids around my age away back when, we called each other by name. People older were always spoken to as Mr. or Mrs.. Of course there was that line of a persons age, where you didn’t know if a person should use their name or call them Mr., Mrs. or Miss., it was always better to use the formal. Then there was Mrs. and Miss., which are they, are they married or not. I always found that Mrs. was safer. How did you know when to stop using the formal? Generally the older person told you! If you were walking down the sidewalk we stepped out of the way for the older person. We were taught as kids to say hello to the older person first. Seems it don’t happen as much any more. But then again I grew up on a farm ten miles from a small town. Probably had more time to learn the rules of educate.
People are generally good inside, the parents of our fast pace society are living at mock speed trying to get everything and as much as possible in the shortest amount of time and the kids of today are learning that, this is the only way to live. Just think what pressure is going to be on the next generation. Funny thing is, the faster the pace we live in society the more stress we put on ourselves, and stress causes more diseases and will probably shorten your life. That old saying comes to mind (the hurrier I go the behinder I get). Wants vs Needs.

What’s Happening?

I was talking to a friend the other day about the wild things that are happening in the world. Such as disasters we have seen on the tube and heard on the radio. I remember quite a few years ago having the same conversation. Discussing then it seemed that more disasters have been happening. Back then we just passed it off as, we are being more informed because of our media constantly searching for more and more news, and we have a lot more access to more sources of informative electronics. But now in this day and age I am sure it is not just the information line is more open, we are experiencing more natural disasters caused by our society of stuff. What’s your opinion?

One Thousand Pushups One Thousand Crunches Done

New Years Day was planes, trains, automobiles & busses an auto
Filled day. January second I had to work so I push the thousand, till today the third of January. Remembering last year the one thousand seemed impossible, such a huge number, this year after one hundred fifty pushups and crunches a day for UBBT 6. The one thousand journey was much more enjoyable.
By pacing myself at fifty every half hour. I found the half hour rest gave my muscles enough time to recover.
Reading all the Silent River Kung Fu posts was inspiring, especially the members of Silent River who were not part of UBBT doing their best to accomplish the thousand. Posting your numbers is verbally showing you believe.
Congrats to those who at least tried I am sure with this attitude a Black Belt will be accomplished some day.
