Better and Worse

[jubaji]

How do you today compare to you 15 or 20 years ago? (yes, this pretty much excludes the young 'uns)

In what ways are you better?

In what ways are you worse?

In what ways will you be better and worse 10 years or so in the future?

15 years ago I was just about to graduate from high school. I'm better educated now (one year away from my third degree), and hopefully smarter.

I didn't particularly want to go to college, but instead wanted to focus on music - playing guitar with my band (I was a much better guitarist then than I am now). But my parents persuaded me to go.

My French and Spanish were excellent at the time but I haven't had the occasion to use either much in the past 15 years. But I've managed to pick up some Chinese and Japanese.

15 years ago I hadn't traveled outside of North America, and the furthest south I had been from the Canada/US border was Minneapolis. I'm a lot more worldly now.

My martial arts training wouldn't start for another year, so I could definitely take myself of 15 years ago now. Plus I've got about 30 pounds on me now (but not the good kind of pounds).

I was a better skier back then though.

15 years ago I didn't drink alcohol because I didn't like the taste, especially beer.
That probably explains those 30 pounds.

I'm the same person I was 15 years ago, I'm just worse at admitting it, and a lot better at hiding it.
