Journal #11: Aphorism
A common aphorism that I know of would be: the squeaky wheel always get the grease. I think that it is very common that the people who complain in the world get what they want. I like this aphorism because i think that it really relates to my life in the aspect of all the sports that I play. I feel like it is always the people that complain that get what they want. This is really annoying to all of those people on the team that do not complain about every little thing because all of those people do not always get what they want. In other words, the really annoying, complaining people get what they want, and the people who are not complaining and that are actually doing the work required. This is one of the times where I just have to step back for a minute and remember that life is not always fair. I think that might actually be another common aphorism, but I'm not switching in the middle, so do not get any ideas about giving me a bad grade on this assignment. I think that the aphorism "the squeaky wheel gets the grease," is commonly thought about in the sports because it is the parents that complain that always get what they want for their kids. I really do not like this aphorism because it is so true. I hate human nature!! Why are people like they are? It is so annoying!! Okay, so sorry for ranting in my journal... Here we go again... I hate the fact that the people that annoy everyone else with their complaining also annoy everyone else because they are also getting something that they want because they were so annoying. And yes, I think I do realize that I have used the word annoying a few too many times in this journal. The aphorism is so true and it applies to my life in the aspect of athletics.
