The Attempt to be Cool

We all attempt to be cool....whatever cool really is. In our search to be societies utlimate person we begin to loose sight of who we are and the people we truly care about. We attempt to mimic the things that "cool" people do. Maybe its drinking or pulling a prank on some helpless person. But most people don't bother realizing how they actually feel about what their doing because they think its correct in a sense. But just because someone you think is cool drinks for fun....doesnt mean you think its fun. If you like playing chess at sleep overs instead of playig ding-dong ditch... then play chess. And if the people your with don't get that... get some new people, at the end of the day we all need people who understand us. Conforming to what others what is a complete waste of time. If your with the people love, doing what you love...then your much cooler than the losers who do things they don't like with people they hate just so they can say they did something "cool". Never loose who you are to try and be someone else. Be who you are with the people you love and don't try to be anything else.

Goals

Goals are the one thing all people need to have. And without them we arent modivated. But with those goals we have to remember happiness. Its what makes us happy that gives us the true joy of things. Its fine to want to win a gymnastic olylimpic gold metal..but you have to remember that doing that first catwheel in your backyard was what made you want to persue your dreams. That happiness is what started it all. And even if you do recieve that olylimpic goal metal...doing a cartwheel in your backyard is what makes you happy no matter what. Sometimes we become so caught up in our goals we forget what orginally gave us a joy like no other. For me, it was the first time I ran a foot race...and now, everytime i step onto the track before a big meet..i remember that moment...the happiness i felt as i triumphently crossed the finish line for the first time. And if one day i win a gold metal...i won't forget that. Goals are important to have, but never forget the overwhelming happiness that started it all.
