A Day Smarter

I remember hearing someone significantly older than me once saying that they wished that they had the knowledge that comes with old age but the body and stamina that comes with youth. I'm starting to gradaully see what they mean by that but with the benefit of still having my youth. Lately, i've been feeling like I haven't learned awhole lot in my 24 years and I seem to be around alot of people my age and older who seem to know so much more than I do. I guess it's a way of life though. I try to learn as much as I can about things but there are always people who know more than I do plus it seems that i'm around a much older crowd lately so they're going to know more based on having more experiences anyway. I realize the futility of this argument, as that's just how it's always going to be since there will always be people who know more than me and obviously I know more things than other people do, but it can be frustrating sometimes.

Case in point, take my girlfriend. She's always constantly reading and trying to learn new things as much as she can. I do the same thing but it seems like she's always got a handfull of new information everyday while I might sit and try to read new stuff every few days or so when I have the time. I admire how much she tries to always better herself and she may not know it but in some ways, I acutally look up to her. I don't think she ever really gives herself credit for how smart and insightful she really is.

Despite this turning into sort of a fawning over my girlfriend, I guess what i'm basically saying is that I need to try to better myself and become more knowledgeful about things and be able to prevent myself from becoming stagnant in learning about new and different things in life. I believe that i'm getting alot better at doing that as this has turned out to be a REALLY interesting year as of late (of which i'll perhaps do another blog about), but it dosen't hurt to post a reminder to continually make yourself better than you were the previous day.

This time tomorrow, i'll be better than when I wrote this blog................go figure.
