Know that when adults told you to have a flexible and open mind, they were lying. If you put your mind to something, you must follow through and do it. There is no turning back. That's for the weak. And stupid. Before you try arguing that your mom is always right, consider this:
1. It is never a good idea to decide you DON'T want to jump off the swing once you're half way off. You will get stuck. Crash. And Burn. And it will hurt.
2. Just as bad is deciding you don't actually want to ski down a Black Diamond mountain once you're halfway down. You should just suck it up, close your eyes, and go. Please don't try climbing back up because it will hurt. Please.
3. On that note, make sure you actually intend to get off the chairlift when you get on it. Contrary to common belief, those things DO NOT make a round trip because it will hurt. One way ticket dear.
4. And, if upon seeing the chair come from behind, you suddenly change your mind, it is still better to get on. Moving out of the way will not only be a waste of chair rotation, but you will also get caught on the chair, dragged through ice and end up face down in powder snow where nobody will be able, or willing, to get you out. And it will hurt.
