Back then, I didn’t realize that that
question – the “What-are-you-gonna-do?” question – dogs us all our lives:
* dog: to harass; pester
ex> When I played football in high school, my coach was always dogging
us to study as hard as we played.
ex> The TV chef likes to dog the people on the show who
work in his kitchen.
ex> He had been dogged by bad health all his life.
cf> a dog (n, slang) – a person who
is very unattractive or uninteresting
Well, I got caught up in that for a really long time – so much so that I
could never really enjoy what I WAS doing, because I was always worried about
what I was going to be doing.
* be/get caught up in sth: to become
deeply involved or obsessed with something
ex> The young gang member was
caught up in some very bad activities.
Who are you seeing?
* see sb: to date someone; have a
romantic relationship with sb
ex> Two years after they got divorced, Ted and Alice began seeing
each other again.
And here you are: sitting there ready to
hit the Fast Forward button and find
out the answers.
Pausing allows you to take a beat – to take
a breath in your life. As everybody else is rushing around like a lunatic out there, I dare you to do the opposite.
* lunatic [|lu:nətɪk]: a crazy person
ex> You and you friends always act like lunatics when you
get together.
ex> This lunatic in a white van pulled out right in front
of me!
* I dare you: to challenge someone to do
something
ex> I dare you to take a
picture of that big guy over there.
