You may ask why there is a picture of an English Bulldog puppy. Good question. When I grow up, I want one, simply put. They're quite cute, cuddly, and the closest I'll get to a koala. let's be real...
I was working today and came across a quote that I will never forget. Walking in to the Academic Assistance office, I spot a board that reads, "quote of the day". More like quote of my life...
"Falling down doesn't make you a failure; staying down does"
This is awesome for many a reason. If you just think about it...it's so true. Just because you may fall, you must get right back up and at 'em. If you don't, you fail, at life. totally just kidding about that last part but for cereal you guys, if you stay down, you can't try again or even have a chance at succeeding. Seeing this quote just made my day better for some reason and it felt awesome. I pass it on to you in hopes that it will both pick you up and pick someone you know up. Every now and then, we all need a pick-me-up.
This recently put something into perspective for me and I was able to help one of my good friends get out of a slump. Even though he isn't out of it quite yet, he was definitely lifted by me simply saying it to him. "dude, I love that!"......aint no better response. I realized that without a close social network of friends that you can count on, stressful situations become problems and these problems become harmful to your health. (thanks Psych 101) but really, I love both having and being apart of a network of support and I hope my friends know they can count on me for either a laugh or a serious kick in the butt. This blog isn't long but I think it gets my point across just fine...
If you fall off your horse, get back up and ride on....
