~:[CH8 - Day 311]:~ It's a Numbers Game

Yes, life is a numbers game. You calculate scores, you look at stats, and ultimately, you balance those dollars. You need to know numbers in order to make things work from measurements to distances and straight to the bank. The first thing we cover in Econ focuses just on that. From buying a house or car to the loan for it, utilities and food, the cost of children and pets, vacation and even a wedding. It's fun to see them work with the numbers and try to see how they can make it all work. In many cases, they are able to figure it out. I see all these posts about the need to teach basic life skills and yes, we get a chance to do that right here. Paying taxes and budgeting to name a few things. The day continued with numbers in the form of time and you could even say it was still a numbers game, as I ate with the 775k subscriber YouTube animator. Life is and will continue to be about the numbers but we don't have to let the numbers define us. The time on the clock can be improved, budgets can be balanced, and the temperatures can be prepared for, however, numbers are just that - numbers. Regardless of our times, our GPAs, how many followers we have or how many points we had that last game, at the end of the day, it matters less than all the experiences and all the love that numbers cannot measure. It is true that this is a world full of numbers, but ultimately, we have the power to rise above it all and make it more than all of that.
