When I was fifteen I thought I knew everything. When I was 25 I realized 15 was just a dumb kid. When I was 35, I knew I a 25 year old doesnt know what he is talking about. I anticipate that when I am 45 i will understand that a 35 year old just doesnt have the life experience needed to talk back to the likes of me!

But right now, at 35, I DO understand that a 45 year old me will still seem foolish and young to a 55 year old. And so it will go, for as long as life persists.

Never will I speak without fear of contradiction unless I am the oldest person in the world. My elders will lie dead at my feet, and then, oh lord, the youth had better heed my words!

TLPG, I wrote that for you. But Joeker? You have some hard lessons to learn. But thats the interesting part of life. Youth never listens to experience, and maturity never is as smart as it thinks it is.

frields, Thank you. At only 18, it's what I live by. I'm not going to let AS dictate what I can or cannot do. It's my life. I'm not letting AS run it. :P

Fuzzy, I've learned hard lessons all my life. I don't see why that should change, when I've still got lessons to learn. Experience is the best teacher, and if I've lived through my childhood, my teen years, and now my adulthood, will always seem a snap in comparison. Besides, that's the interesting part of life.
I don't want to get bored. :wink:

But seriously, I need to be able to make my own mistakes. If I don't, then I'm cheating myself.
