They Say Your Attitude Determines Your Lattitude

I was going to use this song lyric anyways but I found this quote that my English teacher put on our syllabus pretty fitting. I wanted to use this song just because of the title to commemorate the beginning of a new school year. haha So before I start babbling...

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. We are in charge of our attitudes." ---Charles Swindell

I thought that was a pretty cool quote but anyways this blog's almost a year old. I skimmed though my previous posts to look back on what I blogged about. I'd probably like to set half of them on private just like my xanga. haha In Feb/March I was looking forward to 2nd year. Well, this is it huh? I've learned that "there" is never better than "here." haha jk. There is some truth that when you get to where you want, that will become your "here" and you will have another "there" creating a seemingly insatiable quest for satisfaction, self realization, self betterment, happiness, whatever you'd like to call it. Although this may be a bad thing, isn't life about progress? You gotta keep it moving, complacency leads to a comfort zone/bubble that's hard to burst sometimes. Where am I going with this? IDK, ha. This probably stems through my ambitions to do more this year than frosh year.

I'm still amazed by how fast the first year flew. It feels weird introducing yourself to other people saying that you're a "second year." Dude, I miss first year! Kinda, haha. My apartment's pretty dope though, I must say. Living away from home is especially important for me because I need to learn how to be self-reliant. It'll be interesting to see what this year has in store for me. I need to get back into this blogging game. Cal Poly 09-10, what's up? There's only one thing I want to do...
