This quote is not mine, but when I heard it, I knew that it would be perfect for the blog. I was at a presentation a few weeks ago and the keynote speaker mentioned the topic ignorance and had this to say about it. “The more books you read, the more ignorant you become as you realize how little of life and this world you actually know”. This is so illogical its logical. It’s illogical because one would believe that reading books would make you LESS ignorant as opposed to more ignorant. But yet it’s logical because nobody knows everything and once you open a book, you become aware of your ignorance to all of the world you didn’t realize you knew.

"Sorry"
Sorry for the long pause in blogs guys. I will try and be more consistent. It has not been from a lack of topics, rather just pure laziness on my part. Anyways, as most of you probably well know, I am not a parent and I don't imagine being one either for a long time. But, I still believe I have the right to comment on certain matters, but take my opinion for what it is... an opinion.
As a parent, if you want to see if your child is going to grow up and be a sore loser, gracious winner, or a loser who takes it with pride, play the game "Sorry" with them. For all of those who have never played this game, Sorry is a game of luck where the objective is to get all of your team into a safe zone, while there are cards in the deck in which other players can send their opponents back to the start of the board. The interesting part of this whole experiment is to watch and observe how your kid responds just as he is about to get into the safe zone while you draw a card that sends him all the way back to the start. There are quite a few responses, but the most natural for a little kid is to whine, cry, and complain. If any of these actions occur, be prepared for when your kid reaches puberty. On the other hand, if your kid goes with the flow of the game and is just ready to draw his next card so he can get you, then your kid is on the path to greatness. This is what every parent should want from their kid when playing the boardgame "Sorry". It is so illogical, it's. logical. It is so illogical for a child not to be upset/angry when losing a game. But at the same time, it is logical because if your kid does react in a positive manner as opposed to whining, he/she has a much better chance of surviving in the real world, because people get screwed all the time in life, just like in "Sorry".
