Firsts and lasts

People always make a big deal out of first and lasts. The first kiss has to be special, the first date has to go perfectly, you take your first drink when you turn 21. The first time isn't the most special of occasions, in fact, it should really be the best time that's what's celebrated the most. I'm sure that if you were to ask Jeremy Wariner about his best steps, he wouldn't say his first, he would talk about his double Olympic gold victories at Athens. Focusing on the first is a great mistake that people make which takes them down while dealing with the same experience. When I first started shooting pool I used the worst and most awkward hold ever. I don't remind myself or commemorate the first time I played however, as I do much better now. So far as a first post, I can only hope for the best.
