Being well-informed on what is happening in the world, in the government, the stock markets, and all other current events--local, national, and international.
As a student, I am finding it hard to stay informed when all my free time is needed to study for the next exam or read the next chapter in a text book (not to mention social and religious obligations I commit to). Even so, after spending the last few years in an office with a constant stream of information, I can tell I am left with a void from not being informed. So, I am trying to up my ante and make time for important things in addition to my scholastic studies. It it hard, and I am grateful for sweet apps on my iPad which help me to know what is happening at any time I might be available to listen. And today, I heard a quote I particularly like.
This comment stuck with me immediately. Regardless of what is happening with the government, etc., I still have the right to choose how I will conduct my life. It is my responsibility to take charge of the things in my life and to make a small difference in which ever way I am capable. I must do my best."I am not defined by my government. I am defined by the constitution. I am defined by the principles that God laid out, and I am defined by my actions; but not by my government and who my president is, or who's in congress. I refuse to be that way." -Glenn Beck
