I declare a snowball fight!

All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when my brothers and I were playing in the snow on our first SNOW DAY(2/2/11)!!! We began by trying to build a snowman but appearantly sof snow does not help at all when trying to build a snowman because all of the snow just kept falling off. So we then agreed to build forts and have a snowball fight. I began to build my fort as best as I could because somehow my fort is always the first one to fall apart during the fight.But then it struck me that in order for me to build a good fort, I had to model out the outline first, kind of like the puzzles we did in class. Once I modeled my outline, my fort building began to become much easier and stronger. Why didn't I think of this strategy before?

Building a puzzle or a fort means that I need to start with a strong base. That stragety also goes well in life. In order to succeed in life, you need to have good building blocks in order to achieve goals. For example, if I want to become a doctor, I need to have good grades and recommendations for my doctor goal to be achieved. These small accomplishments are going to help me "complete" my puzzle of life. It is way harder when you have to complete goals or simple tasks without having a strong base or outline on what you're going to do. It is also like writing an essay or doing a project for a class. How are you going to get a good grade on you essay or project when your teacher hasn't given the outline for the project? In either life, puzzles or even fort building for a snowball fight, having a strong base and building blocks can help you achieve goals faster and help you complete unfinished projects... or have a great victory in a snowball fight against your brothers! ;)
