One of the sisters (nuns) at my high school used to turn off her hearing aids at faculty meetings - she had like 3 phds in math & science and she was older - she said there wasn’t anything they’d say at a faculty meeting she hadn’t heard before

I used to think how lucky she was able to do that as I sat in some shitty, useless meeting at work

ECON 2010 at LSU,


I'll never forget my kindergarten teacher in 1979 at Mayfair Elementary calling up a black kid and white kid to stand next to her. She wore a black jacket over a white blouse.

She asked the class what color her clothes were, which was easy. And then asked what color each kid was and we were silent...

She said "clothes are colors. y'all ain't colors, y'all are humans."

I'm not sure what triggered such a great impromptu lesson but I imagine some kids were having an issue playing with kids of different skin color.

Nothing is free basically. There's always an "opportunity cost" in the sense that you could be spending your time and energy doing something else while you eat your free lunch. That's the actual cost of your free lunch.

Baton Rouge middle school in the 90's. Teacher told a student that he should go VISIT Africa if he was interested in it.

Kid claimed the teacher told him to GO BACK TO AFRICA.

Teacher got fired. I learned a valuable lesson.

Senior English teacher in high school once said to get around as many girls as possible in college.

As I get older, I realize, he really meant to seize the opportunity because time goes fast.

Band director one day, was trying to motivate people to stick it out during band camp. He was doing that because it’s hot af, and there were so many overweight people, or people where that was their only time to ever go outside, or people who wore black jackets and black jeans. Well anyways, he said when you go to mow your grass, you do it all in that one day. Don’t take big breaks, or say you’ll do the front yard today, and the back tomorrow, just knock it all out right then and there. To this day, I never take breaks when I’m mowing the lawn. I do it all right fricking then and there.

At 8 years old I was waiting/bussing tables in my family's restaurant and my Grandma told me the following:

"Never make an empty trip".

Meaning, when you walk into the dining room, take the coffee pot with you and refill cups, and when you walk back, bring dirty dishes with you off of the tables. Hands should never be empty.

It was her way of describing how to be efficient.

I've used it in every aspect of my life ever since.

My dad would remind me, regarding tests and quizzes, that there's no extra points for being the first one finished.
