On to the more serious topic of living the Ritual,
As a man of Phi Gamma Delta, we are required to place three values in order. Scholarship, Fraternity, Self. I live my life by these values. My daily ritual includes all of these. Besides everyday having class, I take a scholarship to a different level. For me, scholarship does not equal grades, but a purpose of learning. Everyday, I try and learn something new about a subject I have little to no knowledge about. Essentially, my head is full of random facts. Don't know why, but its something I started a long time ago.
Fraternity. This I always place above myself. I love all my brothers and will do almost any for them. I say almost most anything, because currently I don't see myself being able to kill someone. As most of my brothers know, when someone asks for help, I am one of the first to jump up. As part of my daily ritual, I try to spend as much time as possible helping my brothers, or often just spending time with them. Even as I write this I am watching t.v. with Garrison, Cox, and Ozzy.
Self. This might be the 3rd most important in my life at FIJI. Its one I take very seriously. I enjoy my alone time. This is often the time in my day when I am able to reflect on what happened. I am able to determine whether, I did obtain knowledge for the day, or have been a good brother. If I determine I have not been, then I am to reflect on how to improve next time. If everything was done, I am able to look forward to my next day.
I try to live my life according to the ritual, some days I do not, but more then not, I am able to.
To go along with my recent posts I include a video. This blog contains the guy before Bill Nye the Science guy. Julius Sumner Miller's experiments often don't quite work, but this guy continues as if they did, often with some hilarious one liners. If you have never seen one of his videos please watch this one and many more on youtube
ENJOY!
Funny?
As always

Isn't knowledge hilarious? Its so hard to define knowledge in a finite definition. Who's to say one person is more knowledgable then another? I think its great that you try to educate yourself on things you don't understand. It is something I definitely have to work on. I normally pick an area I know about then learn the specifics. (Especially earth and environmental science.)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are always there to support the chapter in whatever we need is one of your greatest attributes Nick. Just remember not to get too caught up in things and forget about the school stuff, even though we all do that haha
