How to Peel an Egg 101

My grandfather has taught me many many life skills.  He taught me my multiplication table until I can recite the ones to the nines forwards and backwards. He taught me how to ride a bike, how to swim and how to color nicely rather than scribbling. 

A couple years ago, he taught me how to properly peel a hard boiled egg.

Step one: crack the middle and peel only the middle.

Step two: peel off the two ends of the shell

Ta-Da! A perfectly peeled egg. 

Unlike many families, my grandparents cared for me while my both of my parents had full time jobs until I was seven. They have been a tremendously positive influence on me. I truly feel I owe them part of who I am because of the morals, values and work ethic that have instilled in me. 

It makes me feel really really upset to see that the elderly is often left in retirement and nursing homes. Many of them have such incredible stories and wisdom that no one is willing to listen to them. They have struggled and triumphed and they deserve to have a peaceful life and to be taken care of. 

I have an incredible respect for the elderly and that's in part of my grandparents instilling that value in me as well as seeing the way my grandparents are still highly respected in their own community. I always try to give them a helping hand, get on my hands and knees to take over some of the chores, listen to them no matter how many times they said some things, keeping them company and so forth. Simple but it's so meaningful. 


It's almost 11:30pm and I need to finish up some econ exam studying.  Elasticities, Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility, implicit and explicit costs...
