Just take it

Today someone asked me how come I am so mellow these days and not like I was back when I first moved to California or when I first started working at Intuit.

Good question. Obviously, it has something to do with the recent events in my life. I am trying to appreciate things more, and not worry about being a perfectionist.

I am trying to follow Yogi Berra's advice of "If you come to a fork in the road, just take it"

(8 hours later: Someone asked me what does this mean. Basically, it means that there are no wrong decisions in life. Just follow your gut. Make the decision (take it) and know that you will learn along the way. Or as another wise person once said 'it is the journey that's important, not the destination')

Learning languages

Time for me to get serious and learn some new languages for Little Miss Wilder

I. Reading the Magic Eight Ball (I talked about this earlier)

II. Morse code --- The more active LMW gets, the more she kicks with different rhythms, which requires me to communicate using Morse Code.

III. Sign Language -- A popular topic today learning how to use sign language to communicate to young babies, since they are unable to verbalize their feelings

   

IV. Spanish -- Need I say more. .. I just want to be able what my little girl is saying when she is talking to her mom, grand parents and relatives (I think I will play Spanish language tapes for her and myself night)
