a wise man once told me that if i could learn 10 new things a day - about myself, about others, about the world in general - then my day would have been complete. and so, in no particular order, here are 10 things that i learned today, wednesday, may the 19th, 2010:
1. good things come to those who deserve it... eventually
2. no matter how many times you assure someone that you are telling her the truth, if she doesn't want to believe you then nothing you say or do is going to change her mind
3. i don't really have a favourite jonas brother
4. a win is not a win if it comes at a price that one is not willing to pay
5. in any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the opposite two sides... who knew?
6. the true nature of one's character can only be fully appreciated in times of adversity
7. some girls should never be given access to a bullhorn
8. sometimes by taking responsibility for one's failures, you prove yourself successful
9. when you put a seven-year-old boy at third base, you should expect him to eat a little bit of sand every now and again
10. there is no substance more impenetrable than loyalty
if i had tear ducts, this would probably bring a tear to my eye (and close your eyes when you listen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5X6-p1ocog

So tell us more about your Pyrrhic victory (number 4). What kind of situation at school would elicit such a realization?
