Poor Richard's Almanac by Sonny Breeger

The proverb "There'll be sleeping enough of the grave" is a short but really life changing sentence. I love this proverb because its something to live by and makes a lot of sense. The idea behind this proverb is that once your dead your have the rest of eternity to sleep and relax, we only get one life and we need to make every single second count for something. People need to get up and go do something with there life or it's just a waste of life. I feel this way about this proverb because its bold and really gets to the point. Personally I try to live my life like this. I know i'm only in high school, but there are so many things that a high school student can accomplish just by staying up and doing a little bit of extra work or staying up and studying the next lesson in a book just to get that jump ahead.

The proverb "Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge" is a sentence that a person should stare at and think about. This proverb is saying that when you care about something so much and begin to over think it will start to make you over think about whatever it is about. The want of knowledge part ties in with the caring part because if you know how to do something and you've been doing it for years then there shouldn't be a worry about it in your mind. If you start to care about something and i'm not saying caring isn't bad its just that if a person cares too much about something it will start affecting your life in a negative way. For example i'm on the rifle team and we learned that since we've been shooting for years now that we know how to do it without even thinking, that's where the knowledge comes in. With caring its good to care about your target but when you start to care too much you begin to over think about the target and you do poorly. If you have the knowledge about something and you've been doing it for awhile let it come naturally to you.
