Hi all,
This post is my 1,000th and I wanted to make it count. So many posts are one liners and witty comebacks. Some are aimed at hurting others and others at selling something. For me, at least, those posts are not the focus of my time here.
I have spent two years in BF and have learned a lot of things. I read a lot of your posts and write a few of my own. I read your stories, ideas, adventures, complaints, ramblings....the list goes on. The bulk of what I read, however, at least in this forum, is uplifting and in a spirit of camaraderie. In a world so solipsistic and self-centered, the ability to share, on any level, is welcome and refreshing. Toward that goal, here are a handful of lessons I have learned here:
1. You don't need an expensive knife to get the job done: it's the knowledge of HOW to use it, not the WHAT.
2. Sharper isn't always better: fussing over hair-whittling vs. hair-shaving is like fussing over whether you are ONE more car up in the bank line
3. Caring for a knife is like caring for your mind: keep it sharp, clean and use it often
4. Life is like a knife: precious, packed full of memories and should be USED and not put in a 'safe'. living life is far better than thinking about living life. Same goes for knives.
I know this doesn't seem like much, but it's my small bit of wisdom. I have learned a lot and I really hope I continue to learn as I look forward to another thousand posts.
Take care all,
Brett
