honesty shhmonesty

I hate to say it but I think I would talk about cliche things. I would always ignore such advice because I thought, yeah yeah same old same old. How many times can someone tell me this? But after learning the lessons myself I realize why people pound this advice into teens over and over.

Some of the topics I would cover would be:

Honesty
Patience
Communication
Regret
Happiness
Playing with the cards you are dealt

I would make my speech short and sweet because I feel speeches have more impact this way.

Surprise Surprise

This book is full of surprises. Levitt attempts to make the reader think about things in an unconventional way. He talks about the, "accepted truth" that are not facts but just the social norm. He shows the reader that things right in front of you may be much different than they seem. He attempts to make the reader look at things differently to find out real the truth. Though I have not come up with any astounding statistical information I have recently taken his advice.

Levitt digs through tons and tons of information and finds patterns that are very interesting. For example, swimming pools are much more dangerous than guns. He delves into reasons and facts on each finding and keeps you very engaged.
