Reconnect Project: What I’ve learned from Nix, RubyCube, and Quinnzap
I’ve learned much from my first three Reconnect Project outings, some of which I’d like to share with you.
From RubyCube, I’ve learned that trust is a very important thing.
Society will attempt to impose all its preconceived notions on you,
telling you to watch out for yourself and none else, but at the end of
the day, if you sleep well because you trust enough in God and the
people around you, then your world is secure and fine. “God is bigger
than the Boogeyman, he’s bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV.
God is bigger than the Boogeyman, and He’s watching over you and me.” -
From VeggieTales
From Nix: I’ve learned that, at least based on his experience and
personality, money and job satisfaction cannot buy you happiness. If
you work towards something you believe in, as part of a greater scheme
to do something even bigger for the world, you wake up motivated in the
mornings. I’ve learned good things do happen to good people, and good
people never keep those good things for themselves, but work to share
it with others. I’ve learned that my creativity should be harnessed for
something greater, and maybe someday, like Nix, I should be willing to
take that risk.
From Quinnzap: I’ve learned that a desire to cooperate and a
willingness to establish good rapport can overcome office politics.
I’ve learned that, while puns may be the lowest form of humor, if
you’re with someone who does not hesitate to slaughter the English
language with puns, a fun afternoon is guaranteed. I’ve been reminded
that writing is a noble profession.
Next week, I hope to meet up with old grade school pal Rafter and pretty college acquaintance Cheli.
