airport: a place where you have the chance to meet amazing people that give you little bits of wisdom
Though airports are sometimes filled with grumpy people and delays (for example, the toilet of the airplane is clogged and thus you wait at the Detroit airport for two hours while they fix it), they are more often, it seems, filled with people from all over the place.
You never know who you'll end up next to on the plane.
This time I was next to a guy named Gy and a girl named Chailee. We were talking about all kinds of things: recent travels, families, places we were from, places we were going. While on the subject of decision making in life (which is something that, at the present moment, seems to be overwhelming me quite a bit) Gy said this:
"One thing that you've got to remember is that life is hard. And it always will be. And any thing worth having or keeping will be a lot of work."
I'd never really thought about the keeping part. But it's true. My friendships, relationship with God, good grades, happy perspective. All those things must be nourished to be kept.
Now the question is, I've been working so hard to come by so many things, but how hard do I work to keep them?
