Benjamin Graham, the author of the Intelligent Investor tried to do something foolish, something creative, and something generous everyday. I just think that this is a great philosophy on living life and just wanted to share this with the rest of you.

Everyday, post here and tell us about something foolish, creative, and generous you did.

I'll start.

Foolish: Today my friend and I made a few freshmen on our bus sing. To open them up, we sang old Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys songs :lol:

I also forgot I had gym after my physics class and 15 minutes later I realized why I didn't my friends.

Creative: Arg, I got to do something creative tomorrow.

Generous: My friend was absent and I helped her with her homework.
 
for creative, you posted the thread ;)
 
foolish-spent far too much time on here when i should have been revising
creative-i changed my public profile
generous- bought my sisters some sweets.
 
Foolish: an old argument for new reasons that still lead to the same conclusions at work.

Generous: gave something to my mother she would apreciate, and for no reaosn whatsoever that I can fathom.

Creative: well my forte, I changed my mind and took someone off the ignore list, seems like a nice guy, and the dislike was just me being bad tempered anyway, time of the month :)

Nice to have no ignore list again fits in with my attitude that there are no wrong people, just wrong decisions and stupidity, I am the biggest fool of them all. Oh man I'm an arse at times. I realy should practice what I preach and not get lead astray by idiocy and foolishness.
 
Spent 3 hours today discussing a wifi project with a group looking for money.
Wrote another poem
Listened to a lady with few friends tell me about her mother

You can sort out which was which. ;)
 
Foolish: I've spent too much time on the computer today.
Creative: I outlined a philosophical essay in my head, because of a piece of glass I found on the beach. (It's complicated)
Generous: I'm blessing you all with my presence! Nah, really, I met with the people I needed to see about restoring part of a wetlands area near my house.
 
Generous: I gave a waitress a $100 tip.

Foolish: I meant to only give her a $10 tip

Creative: I drew that $100 bill with spinach dips on a napkin :D
 
Foolish: Screwed around during my tennis match and lost 8-3

Creative: Um, doodled on the back of my Biology test?

Generous: Probably nothing because I was in a crappy mood today.
 
Foolish: I'm on this forum right now.

Creative: I got creative in my head with the attractive girl across the room.

Generous: Probably nothing, i'm rather self centered, and I need to change that.
 
Foolish: I played a scrim match in CS against a cheater clan and lowered myself to their level by arguing with them.

Creative: I thought up of ways to generate money for the school newspaper.

Generous: I bought a dragon boat t-shirt to support the local dragon boat team. :)

I'm surprised more people aren't posting. I think these are great to live by. I'm already thinking about what foolish, creative, and generous things I can do tomorrow.
 
Create: writing a short story

Foolish: putting on hold defecating

Generous: helped a friend study for a test
 
creative- my posts
foolish- did no revision today
generous-paid someone far too much for a lift i didnt really need :)
