However, I remember sitting in my dad's truck when I was about 8 or 9 and I was having a 'moment' and I said "that's not fair!" He turned to me and said, "do you know what 'fair' is?" and I said, "no". He said, 'It's where you take your kids.' I've never said, "that's not fair" since. Honest! We have to remember that we're not entitled to anything. We have to work for it. :) I was rebellious and didn’t really listen to my mom.

And on the bright side, she told me this "Everything will all come together one day", which is very true. Also, i would like to thank Noah for writing his blog because it keeps me from feeling lonely from time to time :) Every since I came to the US of A, every time i talk to me mum on the phone, she keeps telling me “Be careful of white men”.

(They say this is why women continue having children even after the pain of giving birth.) It's hard to remember this when you're actually running the mile, unfortunately. I need an elaboration on Susan Jones' "The more you cry the less you pee." I'd love to add that to my own list of sayings, as anything with a little potty talk is up my alley, but I can't imagine what it could mean.

Like being used to explain to someone why they aren't getting as much oversight or help from a superior than they might expect. In other words, be glad that you aren't, because that would mean you are screwing up. Took me a while to accept that when I entered the workforce, but it was about having the self-confidence to see oneself as a kind of equal with them and how the lack of attention was actually about the freedom of autonomy.

But when I bring home a wad of cash every week it calms her down a little. But I sold the wad of cash business hoping to make buckets of cash... that reminds me of the saying, "A bird in the hand..." (or about the dog and the bone's reflection.) Oh boy! My mom: She says, "I"m excited for you." She's prob the reason I feel like it's ok to take business risks. Noah:
