More From John Hodgman

In some contexts in pakistan maybe a beard is negative. it depends. and in some contexts in america maybe a beard is positive. i think there's certainly lots of hipster communities where having a beard makes me look a little bit less like a, you know, middle-aged fuddy-duddy. and there's some places in pakistan where having a beard, you know, certain corporate contexts, certain social contexts, where it's not an advantage to have a beard.
Hipster Thinking America
One of things about beards is that, when men reach a certain age, they'd like to see if they can grow one. it's a phenomenon i understand very well. after you get over the itchy face, you go, "oh, i don't have to shave, that's cool." and then you move into the philosophical thing- people say, "you look weird, you have a beard." and you say, "no, actually, it's weird to shave." having a beard is natural. when you think about it, shaving it off is quite weird.
Moving Philosophical Men
Nature is indeed a specious ward, nay, there is a great deal in it if it is properly understood and applied, but i cannot bear to hear people using it to justify what common sense must disavow. is not nature modifed by art in many things? was it not designed to be so? and is it not happy for human society that it is so? would you like to see your husband let his beard grow, until he would be obliged to put the end of it in his pocket, because this beard is the gift of nature?
Art Nature Husband
You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
Memories Eye Passion
Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. the major value in life is not what you get. the major value in life is what you become. success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.
