The Olympics is one of the few remaining things that brings the world together peacefully.  The world roots for everyone's wellbeing and talents instead of trying to drag them down.

Just because you can do one thing does not mean that you can do another thing that is similar.  To become great at something, you need practice and some innate talent (see October - Lesson 19).  Just because you're given the opportunity does not mean you will do a decent job.  In fact, you're more likely to be awful than awesome.

Example:
  • Rebecca Black
  • America's Next Top Model All-Stars making music videos
  • Many viral videos
  • Those so-called "triple threats"

When put on the spot to present something, be sure to maintain an air of professionalism.  Otherwise, you become irritating very, very quickly.

One of the surest ways to bond with people, make them laugh, and get raised eyebrows is to simply reenact a bowel movement!

The surest way to know that the shameful know no bounds is to attend a college function, that is,an informal, free "party."  There, you'll see so-called "dancing" and many a drafty outfits!  A great place to observe and exercise the eyebrows!

When planning to go on outings with friends and you reply with "I'll let you know later," be sure that you actually DO notify them later on.

If not...
1)  You will look like a jerk
2)  You will miss an eventful day
3)  Be ready to receive a lot of spam on your Facebook wall

DOUBLE LESSON!

When confused about something, be sure to clarify with questions.  If not, you will assume, and if you assume, "you make an ASS out of U and ME."

Example:

When one says "My sister is going to perform Phantom of the Opera at my cousin's wedding!", it doesn't quite mean that she's going to act out as the phantom...she might just be playing the piano song...

Martial arts.  A powerful way to defend oneself.  A powerful way to to attack others.  A graceful art of thousands of years.

Yet, in a single moment, all is destroyed.

Be sure that when you are performing something, raise the bar, do not lower it.  Do not try too hard, do not slack.

At least try make it look good, even if you have no idea what you're doing.
