  1. I was trained in the ancient art of swallowing enough air to compress the room around me. It isn’t practical, and it’s not popular at parties. But when I need to make a quick escape, there is no more effective way than to vacuum the pressure from an area.

  12. Oh gosh, don’t tell me about training, that reminds me of track and field. I feel like I spend all my time training for running. And yet, I don’t seem to get better. But training makes me feel healthy, it feels like I’m doing something in life. I’ve been training for the past 4 years and haven’t been getting better it seems…

  13. We watched as they drilled the orders into their skulls. None of them knew how to fight, but everyone can be trained in time. The commands were barking out in such a mass array of confusion it was a wonder anyone knew what to do; we certainly didn’t. Lauren looked at me and whispered,

    “It’s okay, you can do this.”

  14. So I was trained to always act right
    make sure everyone got what they wanted
    that I found myself burning out for the sake
    of everyone else’s wants and needs.

    But how to stop this activity?
    How do I stop looking to everyone else
    and start looking to my own wants and needs?
    Maybe I need to do soemthing, but what?

  17. maybe if we all worked a little harder we wouldn’t need to feel like we needed to be trained. we could trust ourselves with where our lives were going, no one would need to tell us what the best route was, or even how to take our own route. we could run, we could walk, and we wouldn’t have anyone outside say, “stop!” or “that’s wrong!”. we could always be right. if we worked a little harder then no one would worry about being perfect.

    by Kathy on 02.26.2009
  22. trained. my first thought was being trained, not like taught, but like being run over by a train. “she’s in the hospital with 74 broken bones. she was trained” is that weird? why would i think that? i certainly wasn’t… trained… to think like that, was I?

  23. Trained. Isn’t this what society hopes of all of us? As a teacher in the public school system, too often it seems that I am training student — training them to be obedient, training them to be cordial, training them to function in this world of our. But should we all be training them to love, to be compassionate, to be individuals. To think?

  24. All I can think about for trained is the idea of being trained for a job when you first get one. This happens because you don’t know exactly what to do at first, which makes it really funny that people don’t get hired when they “Don’t have enough experience” because obviously the experience comes from being trained for the job. How else do the “higher ups” get there?

  25. I trained every day for a month for the event, but it didn’t seem to be enough. As I watched my adversaries warm up, I felt the heat of embarrassment wash over my cheeks. I wasn’t as prepared as they were.

  26. I have been trained to forgive and forget the scarring sins of the past, and the pain that dwells within my soul, my being. I have been trained to walk along the streets as though they are the chosen paths of my destiny, I cannot cross the confines of these paths without the danger of being whisked away from life. I have been trained to never let my gaurd fall and to always hold strong to the being that I am.

  27. i was trained like a poodle
    to do your bidding
    to catch kisses in the sun and
    to kill them in the moonlight
    and to give alms to the poor with my lips
    but more with my heart,
    to be caught on a beam of starlight and fall like a cat’s whisker form the sky
    and i was trained
    to be god’s wish.

  28. we are all trained, we are animals. we answer to the call of what may be a higher power, but what is probably just space. everything we do, someone has done it before. every move we make to step ahead of the crowd, there is another crowd there waiting for us. perhaps the next move we must make is to accept this – to blend in – we will never be truly unique, but we can be happy. we can be satisfied with the ideas that float around in our head, regardless of how many people have had that very same thought before. maybe together we can create something that is truly original. with each piece of already-done uniting to become something amazing, the likes of which the world has never.

  30. I am not trained for anything. I was supposed to be trained for college. But it didn’t happen. I went to college with professors who expected me to know what to do. No one told me. No one trains us but life and experience.

  31. I think of having trained a dog. I’ve never had a dog. I made one up when I was in kindergarten; his name was Spot. Spot Abreu. I included him as part of my family when I wrote on the blackboard, which was really a green board. It never did make much sense to me.

  34. The process of being taught to do something. Usually not seen as a good thing because it discourages independent thought and feeling. Reacting more than formulating a real plan. Regurgitating information that has already been inserted into the brain by someone who has come before you. Usually associated with soldiers and dogs.
