as it progresses, my course changes. they say it is experience, not age, that brings about wisdom and i nod in agreement to that.

our life is like a train journey. i have planned the type of track my train will take. (not my route or destination, mind, im still a lost sheep in those terms) but i had certain principles and ideals and have always prided in being a realist. i always thought the kind of workmanship and tools i used in building that track was the best.

such arrogance i know. but in my defence, i learn.

my mindset can change, just like the modifications of any train track. to give the driver and its passengers are smoother ride. i can cushion the seats and increase the quality in food and beverages.

i bray loudly in dismay at the stubborn donkey that lurks in me.

but im not about to lose any of my loved ones because of poor management. let's face it, who would face a train journey with a driver that loses his temper half the time. last thing i would want is for any fear to be instilled.

i will make the necessary changes.

and i am offering you a free ticket on the train of the newly improved jem.

or tryin to be anyway.
