I hate but appreciate finding out that I am wrong


First of all, I should have been doing this a long time ago because I've been so stagnate in terms of growing up, learning and living life and it has just all just rushed upon me this summer. I've learned so much, but I'm always learning. The problem is that I don't retain most of it because I don't write it down (or type in this instance).

Anyways getting back to the title, I always find out that I am wrong 99% more than I find out that I am right. It's obviously annoying, but a useful revelation because I am wrong, but we learn so much from our mistakes. Like I can not believe how many life lessons I learned, but forget them just so I can relearn them. Quick side note: I learned that the best way to progress and learn things is through baby steps like in the movie "What About Bob" ft Bill Murry. If you know me, I have always been one try to change instantly in the fastest way possible, but it never works out like that. Even revolutionaries (Martin Luther King Jr. or Ernesto Che Guevara) took time and essentially i think (I have to read more about them) took baby steps (side note within a side note: I have to read more about Martin Luther King Jr. because he was one of the best leaders of any time and if I want to have any chance at Teach for America I have to learn from previous leaders). I'm so impatient most of the time, that I forget about baby steps. From my knowledge and what I can infer the only reasons leaders were so "revolutionary" is because they had so much passion that drove this baby steps to occur at a faster rate. I need to have the passion and understanding of baby steps to drive my life progression forward and have a chance in to making it in to TFA, to make up for the past 3 stagnate years of my life. Even though I say the years were stagnate, they must have happened for reason, because I believe everything happens for a reason, which gives no reason why I should regret anything which is one of my biggest problems and issues that holds me back sometimes.

I am not saying that I am the same person or at the same thought level I was when I was a senior out of High School, I just need to write my thoughts down or I definitely will have some regrets which is no good. Life is short and goes by at incredible speeds. I have one year of college left which is about to start very soon and once that starts there is no stop till the end. There so much I want to spill out and mind dump on to this post, but I'm tired and it probably won't make sense, much like this post.

I know I am just rambling, but I just wanted to buck to stop here and stop being lazy and forgetful about getting my mediations down on paper.
