Journal Entry 24: Crossing the Rubicon

The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" means to pass a point of no return. It means when you make a choice or an action that you cannot take back. I believe when you talk to people, you can't take the words back. Fore example, when you just speak whatever is in your mind, and it offended other people, you will never be able to take the words back. Although you can always say sorry, it will never change how he or she feels about you, or how sad and angry they were. And also, if some serious, sad, and angry thing happens in your childhood or life, then it will change your life. That event an't be taken back just like the quote. Sometimes when you take decisions, you can't go back either. For example, once you chose your majors and your jobs, it is really hard to go back. When you take difficult and hard decisions, sometimes you won't be able to go back, just like the quote.
