Describe something you learned in high school.
I’m hijacking this.
I’m so doing it.
Here we go.
The ancient Germanic peoples used to teach their youth an old as time mantra.
They used to say to them:
Beware of a creaking bow, a yawning wolf, a croaking raven, the tide on the ebb, new ice, a coiled snake, a bride’s pillow talk, a sword with a hairline, a playful bear, the sons of kings.
These are all things that should not be trusted.
If I learned something since high-school is this.
The ancient list of the Germanic tribes was meant as a symbol not an actual point by point enumeration of things one cannot trust.
My point is this. Never trust anything or anyone.
Always do your due diligence and stop placing faith, blind faith in anything. Use your head. Check the math. Work out the kinks.
You’ll thank yourself for it.
