Mary’s Minute
“If you make decisions based upon people's
reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.”
~ Heath Ledger
The part of about this quote that caught my
attention was the word, “boring.” Boring
is not bad to everyone. Boring can be
thought of as a being content and spending our life going with the flow. If that is what we want out of our life, our
career, or our school, then making decisions based on how other people judge us
is the way to go. I personally reject
boring. I believe life is about
adventure, so when we make decisions we need to be careful about what is
guiding us. Multiple perspectives are
key to decision making, so we should not totally discount what other people think. We should listen and learn from others, but
we can never be limited by how we are judged by others.
Perry Central is determined to push hard for
success of our students, and at times our decisions to do so may not be
popular, but they are seldom boring!
Personally, people may not always agree with
how I live my life, but I am pleased to say that I am not bored!
We are faced with decisions every single
day. We cannot ignore the perspectives
that others bring, but we also cannot let the judgment of others leave us in a quagmire
of dullness.
Have a great week!
Mary
