Wallace

I would suggest listening to Schwarzenegger’s Life’s Six Rules on YouTube if you haven’t heard it, as it is probably my favorite speeches.  Wallace does kind of remind me of myself though.  I’m cynical as hell but I try my best not to go on that default setting, otherwise I would just be really pissed off all of the time.  It can be awfully difficult to pay attention to what’s right in front of you instead of what’s going on inside your head.  I can’t count the number of times that I have based something that someone has done to annoy me upon an internal attribution rather than on an external one…and that seems to be the default.  Everyone can remember a time when they’ve been cut off while driving or in any line and thought something around the lines of, “That stupid P.O.S.”  As I’ve gotten older it’s been easier for me to stay calm and assume that there’s a reason for a person acting this way rather than him/her being mentally deficient.  Since I rarely flip the bird anymore, unless I’m really upset, I shall assume that college is working and continue to attend.
