About This Quote

It's true that you never learn something until you're faced with it. But the truth is that the best lessons are the ones that happen when you're least expecting them. When I was seventeen, I was forced to attend an etiquette class for teens. I had no interest in learning anything so specific about manners or how to act in public, but my mother insisted on the class.

It was one of those classes where you dress up and listen to a monologue about etiquette. Everyone else seemed interested in the lesson, but I just couldn't get into it that day. After class, I went online and found some more interesting things to do than listen to my mother's plan for me.

The more interesting thing that day was browsing some of my favorite websites and seeing if there was any new content posted about anything I cared about.
