Yes

Came across this on my newsfeed facebook when my friend (Emma) posted this on someone's wall, totally stalker-esqe I know. haha But it's good stuff and I just want to share this with all y'all.


“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”
— Stephen Colbert





Let's learn to say yes to more things, yes? 


(Unless it's drugs or prostitution or something, the only thing growing from saying yes to those are debt and STDs, just sayin')
