As I was doing my physics homework and getting frustrated tonight I remembered a kid I saw yesterday at the BYU football game. He came up to where my friend was working the concessions Dippin' Dot stand and had to face the stress of choosing a flavor. With a great light bulb moment, the boy began the choosing process with the ever ingenious idea of "innie minnie mo."
Once the flavor was chosen by chance, and money was exchanged, the kid received his change. My friend gave him a fifty cent piece. The boy, with a tight grip on the coin, holding it up to his face, excitement in his eyes, and with a bright smile, he excitedly said, "this is the biggest penny ever!!!"
So what does this have to do with physics and all that? Well it was just a reminder of how I should view life. Though things like getting good grades in school are important, it isn't something that I need to stress out so much that it diminishes my happiness. Of course, in life there will be hard things and things I don't want to do, but I can always see the world around me in the optimistic, joyful, innocent way this boy did.
