But
as
we
ll
see
,
this
is
a
good
thing
.

Five
hundred
years
ago
cartographers
believed
that
California
was
an
island
.
Doctors
believed
that
slicing
a
person
s
arm
open
(
or
causing
bleeding
anywhere
)
could
cure
disease
.
Scientists
believed
that
fire
was
made
out
of
something
called
phlogiston
.
Women
believed
that
rubbing
dog
urine
on
their
face
had
anti
-
aging
benefits
.
Astronomers
believed
that
the
sun
revolved
around
the
earth
.

When
I
was
a
little
boy
,
I
used
to
think
mediocre
was
a
kind
of
vegetable
that
I
didn
t
want
to
eat
.
I
thought
my
brother
had
found
a
secret
passageway
in
my
grandmother
s
house
because
he
could
get
outside
without
having
to
leave
the
bathroom
(
spoiler
alert
:
there
was
a
window
)
.
I
also
thought
that
when
my
friend
and
his
family
visited
Washington
,
B
.
C
.
,
they
had
somehow
traveled
back
in
time
to
when
the
dinosaurs
lived
,
because
after
all
,
B
.
C
.
was
a
long
time
ago
.

As
a
teenager
,
I
told
everybody
that
I
didn
t
care
about
anything
,
when
the
truth
was
I
cared
about
way
too
much
.
Other
people
ruled
my
world
without
my
even
knowing
.
I
thought
happiness
was
a
destiny
and
not
a
choice
.
I
thought
love
was
something
that
just
happened
,
not
something
that
you
worked
for
.
I
thought
being
cool
had
to
be
practiced
and
learned
from
others
,
rather
than
invented
for
oneself
.
635
When
I
was
with
my
first
girlfriend
,
I
thought
we
would
be
together
forever
.
And
then
,
when
that
relationship
ended
,
I
thought
I
d
never
feel
the
same
way
about
a
woman
again
.
And
then
when
I
felt
the
same
way
about
a
woman
again
,
I
thought
that
love
sometimes
just
wasn
t
enough
.
636
And
then
I
realized
that
each
individual
gets
to
decide
what
is
enough
,
and
that
love
can
be
whatever
we
let
it
be
.
637
Every
step
of
the
way
I
was
wrong
.
About
everything
.
Throughout
my
life
,
I
ve
been
flat
-
out
wrong
about
myself
,
others
,
society
,
culture
,
the
world
,
the
universe
everything
.

And
I
hope
that
will
continue
to
be
the
case
for
the
rest
of
my
life

Just
as
Present
Mark
can
look
back
on
Past
Mark
s
every
flaw
and
mistake
,
one
day
Future
Mark
will
look
back
on
Present
Mark
s
assumptions
(
including
the
contents
of
this
book
)
and
notice
similar
flaws
.
And
that
will
be
a
good
thing
.
Because
that
will
mean
I
have
grown
.

There
s
a
famous
Michael
Jordan
quote
about
him
failing
over
and
over
and
over
again
,
and
that
s
why
he
succeeded
.
Well
,
I
m
always
wrong
about
everything
,
over
and
over
and
over
again
,
and
that
s
why
my
life
improves
.
