Sometimes you experience something that changes your life. In a similar way, sometimes you don't. Those sentences were pointless. Words, words, words. Regardless of words, I have learned things. You may have, too (but then again, you are reading this). Here are some things that I have learned from The Odyssey!

1. Always be nice to people, and offer help when they need it. You don't know what they're going through.

2. Try to stand up for yourself. You should always feel comfortable in your own home.

3. Stay loyal to those you care about.

4. Always persevere, no matter how hard it gets.

5. Don't anger the wrong people, their friends or their family.

6. Nobodies can still hurt you.

7. Don't think yourself to be better than other people. This flaw can be fatal.

8. Don't go on cruises, just in case.

9. Be a master-strategist in times of war.

10. Have Athena on your side (this will help you so many times).

11. Appreciate Telemachus for his growth since you initially left Ithaca.
