  Yesterday night (or this morning as the case may be), I was up until 4:00 a.m. watching a documentary on Galileo Galilei on public television.
Now, watching this documentary inspired me to set some goals for my life. I was inspired by Galileo's insatiable curiosity for the world, and there was a time when learning something new was all the world to me. I want to revive that attitude, and learn something new everyday. When I see things now, I think 'How does that work?'. I sit in front of a monitor, wondering how it works, and what 'liquid crystal' is. Whenever I'm at an electronics store now, I wonder 'How do you get plasma into a monitor?'.
Now, when I see the stars, I will think about how I'm really looking back in time, because the light created by those stars are millions of years old. I will wonder 'How does a gas giant stay together? ', or 'Did a comet's tail really spawn life on Earth?'. I feel that there is so much to learn about the world, and so little time. So, today, I resolve that I will learn something new everyday, whether large or small, significant or irrelevent, I will learn and understand it.
