The time between my posts that is, just set a record for shortest amount of time. I want to thank all of the people that made this possible..alright I’m finished. I felt compelled to get on here and blog as quickly as possible to make up for the lack of blogging over the past few days (with the exception of the one like 14 hours ago). Now that I’m on here, I’m giving you the inside look at some of the things that we have coming out. First, I’m working on a special program for the bookstore. This isn’t any program though, this is literally the greatest thing since sliced bread in terms of student benefits. Imagine getting — free stuff — all the time. Imagine rocking free gear that is actually cool? I’m 23, I know what cool is. Better yet, not only do I know what cool is, I know that you will want to rock this gear. I know that I’ll be rocking it at the gym, I know that you’ll be rocking it on campus. It’s gonna be huge. But this is only a SMALL part of what I have planned. I’m making a presentation either today or tomorrow that can change the game. Literally. I’ll release more details as I can, but for now, it’s basically a program that will make you want to be at the bookstore as much as possible. Believe it.
By the way, now is the time to get a Mac. Seriously, if you go to the bookstore in search of Mac hardware or accessories, you get free money in the form of a gift card that is applicable toward anything in the bookstore, whether it’s a notebook, textbook, or some ridiculously awesome State gear. Check it out, every time I’m in there I see something I wish I had.
Tangent time: you know what the most frustrating thing is? Carb cutting and cardio. Okay that’s two things, but still..they fall under the same category as “awful.” Today marks my first day of carb cutting, high-rep lifting, and cardio. Why? Because working at this amazing job has hindered my ability to not eat everything in sight. Typically this is a manageable syndrome, and lifting heavy weights as much as possible has certainly balanced this out, however, when summer is approaching (and yes being down in NC as opposed to Philly means summer starts sooner for me), it’s time to cut carbs, up protein, and run – a lot – and run some more. This means a couple of things, first, there will be trying times, and second monster results are on the way.
Okay I promise there was a point to this tangent. Everyone has an image of their ideal self in their mind. While my standards are ridiculously high, yours don’t have to be. They may be, who knows. The point is, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. This is important to keep in mind when putting the daily grind into perspective. My frustrations might come in singular percentages that I’m trying to reach, whereas someone else might be struggling on a much larger scale. Problems for one person are non-issues for other people. Sensitivity to other people’s struggles and dilemmas is extremely important, in business, in school, and in life. Those who master the talent of being able to sympathize with others regardless of their situation will ultimately be successful.
Ultimately, we define our own limits. We make our own success, and we set our own goals. So let’s set our goals, and then demolish them. My goal? To redefine everything that’s NC State in terms of awareness, spirit, and passion. My personal goal? To shatter my own perception of what my limitations are. That should be everyone’s goal, because it makes life so much more interesting. Never settle. Never ever settle. We can always push harder. Now go do it, no one’s stopping you but you.
