Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

Date: March 2nd, 2007 03:35 am (UTC)Thank you! I agree totally. I have also heard it argued that evolution devalues humankind, because (forgive the gender thing here) if man was not created by God, then he is not 'special' but a mere accident of physics. However, it seems to me that to put 'man' below God makes him subservient. Evolution, on the other hand, raises man to the highest ethical rank, making him the sole crafter of his own destiny...
