For those non-pixar fans, this is a quote from "Finding Nemo" where everybody's favorite clown fish is excited because its the first day of school. He is excited to learn from his teacher, "Mr. Ray" (a sting ray, how clever) all about the ocean.
I agree with the little fish, there is something about the first day of school, the new year, the first lesson, first anything. Where the possibilities seem endless and the expectations are through the roof. Its the best time because you don't have enough experience to guard you, or enough foresight to worry. Anything seems possible, any change welcome.
How do we lose that? Disappointment, fear, tentativeness, they all creep up and steal away our expectations for ourselves to do great things, things that we are able to do if we just didn't worry about it so much.
Hmm, this is getting philosophical. Well new and daring thoughts have to start somewhere, why not in the new year?
