It seems like there’s a unifying theme to our generation: use of technology. Do you fit the following criteria?
  • Sleep with your cell phone by the bed (charging or not)
  • Have a profile on a social networking site
  • Use your phone for texting (apparently this is still not common practice!)
  • Use your cell phone as your only line (no landline)
  • Get your news from the internet

    • Yeah, it caught us too. Check out msnbc.com for the full story.

    1. This too shall pass.

    2. What they say is required is not really what is required.

    3. The whole world is not looking at you.

    7. Don’t regard the spiritual as impractical. It may well be the most practical thing in your life.

    8. If you are trying to impress someone, your priorities are skewed.

    10. The journey from A to B often goes from A to Z, M, and D before arriving at B.

    13. You are far from the only nervous person in the room.

    14. Don’t burn bridges. You may need them sooner than you think.

    15. There are many times when it is better to be kind than clever.

    17. Talk more with your parents and, if possible, tape some of their reminiscences.

    18. Be reluctant to assign bad motives to others. Most of us are blundering, not conspiring.

    21. Try not to trip over the rocks on your way to the horizon. Don’t let your grand vision distract you from what is needed to achieve it.
