Ironic

Found this on another blog

Certainly an interesting exercise
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own bulletin...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find.
Do what's actually next to you.

Page 123- fifth sentence from the book: A tribe apart--

"Now what?"


Ironic huh? Semester is winding down, grades are good in some classes, could be better in others. Work is hectic and big decisions are coming up. Over and over again I have asked myself, "Now what?" What should I really do about college, work, money, god, relationships, family, friends.... Now what? Hmmmmmm...... Weird.... Back to studying for the finals.

Never a Shortage of Critics

"Capitalize upon criticism. It's one of the hardest things in the world to accept criticism, especially when it's not presented in a constructive way, and turn it to your advantage."--J. C. Penney--

I think this quote is kind of interesting. Not sure how to capitalize on criticism or turn it to my advantage, but it sounds like a good idea. Unless someone has a tried and true method, I guess we could just use trial and error for now. It's not like there is ever a short supply of criticism in which to test applications on. I like ideas that turn negatives into positives. Hopefully if the sowing and reaping thing is fully operational, and I limit the criticism going out, maybe I won't get too much back.
