When I was maybe 12 or 13, a close friend and I rode our bikes over the a carnival set up in a local shopping center parking lot. We only had a small amount of money, so we were limited as to the number of tickets we could purchase..There were only a few parents and kids around, do to say they weren’t busy would be an understatement. We get to the ferris wheel and climb into one of the seats. We start going around and around and around and realize the attendant was nowhere to be seen. It’s just a ferris wheel; but once you spend a half hour up and around, you start to get pretty sick of the ride, not to mention sick in other ways!.After screaming as hard as we could, finally someone (not the guy who started the thing) came over and let us climb out! We were the only kids on the machine! To this day, I hate the damn ferris wheel…
To the extent possible, start setting your own standards of right and wrong. If for example, your goal is to just make it through the day, and you did so, then you did something right. You probably are right far more than you realize.

YOLO. You only go around once in live – but if you do it right, once is enough.
