    There’s a quote I heard about a famous woman who had her first kid when she was still a teenager. “She and her daughter are very close, they grew up together.”

      Honestly doesn’t matter how old you are, nothing makes you grow as a person like kids.

          Then when you finally get past a certain age, usually about 30 or 40, you realize that everyone, including the parents that raised you have absolutely no clue as to what to do from day to day and they just get by with the little bit of knowledge they have and a whole lot of luck.

      In one of the Sean Bean “Sharpe’s Rifles” episodes there’s a scene where the English are flogging one of their troops. The General asks Shape what he thinks of floggings?

      “All a flogging does is teach a man that pain hurts.”
