To me, it's simple: if you've got the time, use it to get ready. what else could you possibly have to do that's more important? yes, maybe you'll learn how to do a few things you'll never wind up actually needing to do, but that's a much better problem to have than needing to do something and having no clue where to start.

More From Chris Hadfield

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

So you got rid of your astonishment that someone could write so much more dynamically than you. you stopped cherishing your aloneness and poetic differentness to your delicately flat little bosom. you said: she's to good to forget. how about making her a friend and competitor — you could learn alot from her. so you'll try. so maybe she'll laugh in your face. so maybe she'll beat you hollow in the end. so anyhow, you'll try, and maybe, possibly, she can stand you. here's hoping!
Writing Laughing Trying
When you venture at life with curiosity, you can learn from anything. you learn from things that you could never maybe thought you could learn from. and when you actually step into the room with a lot of people who have an education in a classroom, that is very similar to other people's educations, you'll actually come with a unique perspective that could be a valuable perspective that creates an innovation that could change the world.
Unique People Perspective
If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

Freedom isn't free. it shouldn't be a bragging point that 'oh, i don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. no, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

For the record, i don't expect you to believe any of this. not really. i'm a liar by trade, after all; albeit, i like to think, an honest liar.
Liars Believe Thinking
One’s lover is one’s partner in observing and understanding the world. marriage is a place where joint narratives are composed. if the lover is a liar then all your joint observations are unreliable. you will have to start all over again.
