So I decided to check my old AOL account to see how many Spam emails I have and I came across a whole folder of emails I sent to myself in 2007 with quotes from my grandma. They’re all hilarious. 

I don’t even know what this one is about. 

Grandma: That woman took all the money from that man?

Grandpa: The man sold the woman?” 

Grandma: That woman took his money. What is she going to do with him? That’s all they want. The money.

Grandpa: Thank god after so many years you tell me. But I don’t have money. I need money. Maybe I need to go find the woman with money.

Look into your own heart, discover what it is that gives you pain, and then refuse, under any circumstance whatsoever, to inflict that pain on anybody else.

No one wants to be the person who is made fun of for caring too much about something, who treats in earnest a situation that everyone else considers absurd. Even in personal relationships, feeling too heavily invested while simultaneously understanding that the other person couldn’t be more detached is one of the most profound feelings of embarrassment we can experience. Because it isn’t simply the embarrassment of making a mistake or a poor choice, it’s a shame over the kind of human being you are and how you see the world around you. To be shamed for your sincerity is to be reminded that you are dependent on something which is not dependent on you — that you are, once again, vulnerable.

I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.
