First day at work

Started working in new place today. Met a West Point graduate, who went to Iraq twice. Amazing. Then a girl from HBS. It's good to meet interesting and nice people.
One major accomplishment today is that I ran four full circle today. This is the most I have ever done since I started running last year. We will see how it goes tomorrow.

Fantasy

Can we trust our perception with knowing that our emotion could greatly affect it, especially when we are emotional?  The truth is, we choose to believe in our perception anyway. Even we know it's different from reality. For most of time, reality is compromised in our wishful mind. Justification takes over rationale. Our existence only makes sense in our fantasy.
Obviously there is nothing wrong with fantasizing our world. Probably that's how people survive in this harsh world. A bleak life would be one without fantasy. Just pure fact and rationale. That way, can we put up with ourselves for a single day?
