Mental Health and Mal-education

Hard work, fun and knowing the appropriate time for each. 

If one wanted to be brutally honest...

No one cares about your feelings

You will sometimes fail, learn to accept it and move forward

You are responsible for your actions

or 

Nothing of real worth is easy

Question everything, but have a foundation of knowledge from which you can do so intelligently

Don't waste time. It is the only thing that you will never have any chance to recover

I'm with him on all but the "Build Future Leaders" mantra. This is used so often and in such circumstances that it means almost nothing.  I would prefer "Build Future Good Citizens" or something like that. 

"Build Future Leaders" is like the old saw one hears at almost every university graduation ceremony, to wit "Find something you love and do it. Then you will be successful." This sounds good but is in fact a load of crap for most people.  What about the 5'9" guy who loves basketball? How much success do you think he will have? How about the girl who would love to be a model but has short legs and a long waist? 

I think better advice would be something like, "If you can find something that you love and you are really good at it then have at it. But to be honest, most of you are going to enter a world in which your "loves" are not of much monetary value to the rest of us.  My recommendation is to find a job which is a challenge and is interesting to you. Do your best to become very good at this job and give it a great deal of focus. This will often lead to job satisfaction and success. Keep your loves in your heart and take time to pursue them outside of office hours." 

LMAO. That's the "Mr. Kung, Bloody Honest Guidance Counselor" skit for Saturday Night Live.

This makes me think of the thing from a different perspective. The teachers are in need of such guidance as much as the students. 

Not as positive as you might think. True, three board member were removed, but the replacements will be appointed by one of the most communist mayors in the world, so the gain, if any, is non existent. 

It's never going to be as good as I hope for. What should happen is a bunch of angry parents, in each school district all over the state of California, lay siege to the administration offices. It ought to look like one of those old black-and-white movie pitchfork crowds who are coming for Dr. Frankenstein because of the monster he has let loose on them.

Granted, the school board members they are keeping are almost certainly unfit for their jobs as well. But they are, in the eyes of the idiots who have been voting these people in, just a little less loony. But to ask me to penetrate the minds of these San Francisco liberals to figure out the shades of loony, as they see it, is asking way too much.

Yes, the airplane is flying on just two of its four engines and they need to lighten the aircraft or it will plunge into the ocean. So the voters chuck out a toilet seat cover and a couple napkins. I get that it's a very small positive step. But it is a step.

Clearly need an Israeli pilot.

One wing wonder

Tragically, a Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was killed while inexplicably trying to cross on foot Interstate 595 in Florida.

Gil Brandt was criticized for his words about the event:

That's kind of how I see it.
