Life Skills

There's always two sides to everything, even in the most trivial thing you could think of. There's the phrase two sides of the same coin, another one would be two sides of every story, but what I'm talking about today, might not be the one most would think of.
Life Skills. There has been quite a number of people who says, "Stan, your way of thinking of life is amazing. I'm sure you would make your mark in the world." Note, none said the exact words but pieces were taken and stitched together all right? Indirect quote if you need a phrase for it. But that's just it, my way thoughts in life. Nothing more.
I haven't told anyone this but truth to be told, I'm quite terrible with this life thing. Sure, my mentality is probably more suited than the norm but the actual physical skills for life, man, I'm so way back in that category you'd think I'm fresh out of the womb. I can't remember something to save someone's life, unless I put all my mind into it. Ask me what I ate for dinner, you'd probably see me staring blankly at you for a second while I gather my thoughts.
Staring blankly into the abyss is not a stranger to me, I probably do that more often that I wish. There has been so many times in my life where I could've conducted a proper conversation had it not been for my lost look. I can't cook, not even a simple egg. If I were expecting a call or someone, I'd probably have the fastest heartbeat minutes, even hours before it.
Here's something I hope y'll don't unfriend me. I was a pampered kid growing up. Not spoiled mind you, just pampered. In all my life, I hadn't lift a finger to do chores until my trip to Australia where I was doing actual work everyday for three months. Not just normal houseworks like folding the clothes, but I was cleaning the pool everyday, racking leaves every fortnight. That's one of the reason why I enjoyed Australia so much, I felt like I actually contributed something.
But that's okay man. Life's a journey. Some people start young, some start later. We all learn things as we take our step. I heard someone mentioned something really thought provoking earlier and it fits so well right now, "I'd rather die a loser who've lived than a winner who didn't." Probably not a direct connection but in this context, I've heard so many stories of people who wasted their lives away because of their refusal to learn.
I don't want to be them man. I may be a slow learner but I try to learn. Maybe that's what fuels my curiosity, maybe my lack of skills in the physical aspect of life boost my skills in the mental aspect of life.
