Maxim 31

If we were without faults, we should not take so much pleasure in remarking them in others.

Maxim 180

Our repentance is not so much regret for the ill we have done as fear of the ill that may happen to us in consequence.

Maxim 330

We pardon in the degree that we love.

Maxim 347

We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us.

Maxim 416

The veracity which increases with old age is not far from folly.

Take a break from the numbers and try the leap frog challenge.

Sometimes by taking a break and doing something different, it helps you to see a different way of runnning down that hit.

Good Luck E1.

A plate of love,

A bowl of peace,

A spoon of hope,

A fork of care and a glass of prayer.

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee....

On his first day, he dialed the kitchen and shouted into the phone;

"Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded:

"You fool; you've dialed the wrong extension!  Do you know who you're talking to?"

"No" replied the trainee.

"It's the Managing Director of the company, you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back:  "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you IDIOT?"

"NO!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God!" replied the trainee and put the phone down......

If your answer is:

lion= you're dull

chimpanzee = you're a moron

giraffe = you're a complete idiot.

squirrel = you're hopelessly stupid.

A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS.

Obviously you're stresses and overworked.

You should take some time off and relax!

Try again next year.  Yeah, I fell for it too.

Recently, a Bill Moyer’s interview with a remarkable woman aired.  At this stage in my life, I thought I had grown passed looking at someone and seeing a hero, not so.  The interview was with a remarkable woman named Grace Lee Jones.  Not since I watched Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Texas give the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1976 had I been so inspired.

Born June 27, 1915 in Providence R.I. of immigrant Chinese parents.  Grace received her B.A. from Barnard College in 1935 and her Ph.D. in Philosophy from Bryn Mawr College in 1940.  In 1953 she married an African American labor activist named James Boggs till his death in July 1993.  She has written a book titled Revolution and Evolution in the Twentieth Century published in 1974.  Of course at the age of 91 her accomplishments are many and can be easily found on line.  She is still active and doing community service work.

Back to the interview. Grace Lee Boggs is insightful, admirable, and engaging. Her experience from being on the front line for social justice reflects in the wisdom of her thought and speech.  A true national treasure that engenders respect and honor.

The most gladsome thing in the world is that few of us fall very low; the saddest that , with such capabilities, we seldom rise high.
