Life Lesson from Big Brother

I consider my brother to be a giant influence in terms of the person that I am and he'll continue to be that way for as long as I have my way. At a very young age, my brother taught me an important lesson, totally unintentionally. I can't recall a specific example but my brother would be playing or using something be it the computer, the Gameboy, or a certain book and I'd pretty much just wait there patiently, or impatiently, until he was done. Then it'd be my turn. But he'd find something else to do to occupy his time and all of a sudden, I wanted to do that. People always want what they don't have or can't have - my older brother taught me to appreciate what I had and, what I think is more important, do things you like, regardless of what others are doing. It's a small but powerful lesson that I carry around with me all the time.
