Push.

    I realized that often when certain people spoke to me I disregarded it because I was sure that I knew more, or better than they did... Although my little brother proved me quite wrong. (Which I hate admitting). I was discussing certain jobs and why I didn't want to work them and Jake stopped me and asked me what I wanted to work for. He used his newly bought truck for an example, saying that when he felt like quitting or sleeping in, he would just think of his truck payment and that would offer enough push to keep him going. I sat there with him, and thought for a few minutes and couldn't think of one thing that I wanted to work for. I knew the cat food was getting pretty low so I'd have to get more, but besides the kitty I couldn't think of a single thing, probably due to the fact that I got so used to not being able to get my own stuff. I was at work Monday and everything was piling up and I was getting ahead of myself, and I just breathed and thought of three things that I wanted to save up for... It worked! I got through the day proud of myself for actually following through with something. The lesson I learned was to start listening more. Even if you are certain that you are king or queen of all knowledge there's always room for more. Worse of all, sometimes your younger siblings can be right.
