I love James Thurber. I'm also reminded he said:

 

“Behind every great man

is a thoroughly surprised woman.”

"The world is not the most

pleasant place. Eventually

your parents leave you and

nobody is going to go out

of their way to protect you

unconditionally. You need

to learn to stand up for

yourself and what you

believe and sometimes,

pardon my language, kick

some ass."

 

         -Queen Elizabeth II

The Occasion 

after it's missed.

The Time        

after it's gone.

Ronald Reagan

Steve Jobs started out of his parent's garage.  Jeff Bezos started small and his company used all of it's income to expand for years and years.  Bill Gates started small too.  

Zuckerberg and his roommate limited their network to Harvard students at first.  So while Reagan probably had no idea of how big these companies would become, they have accounted for a good part of U.S. economic growth over the past quarter century.

. . . First this iconic one from Ira Glass: 

“. . . All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good . . . . It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

And then my favorite Miyamoto Musashi quote, which I also use for my signature:
 

“Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”
 

Thank you; I needed both of these today, for so many reasons.

You can tell if

you're dreaming or

not by looking

around for clocks,

 

clocks will never

be in dreams.

But I don’t have any clocks in my apartment! My microwave oven has suffered through too many power outages and I’ve given up on resetting it. I check the time by looking at my computer, TV, or cellphone.  ;–)

It's better to look back

on life and say:

"I can't believe I did that."

 

Than look back and say:

"I wish I did that."

We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It's our basic human right.

–Aretha Franklin (1942-2018)

[cognac69]

There are many things that I remember from the past these are just two of the important ones, there were more honestly. Both were taught me by someone very important in my life.

 

1. In his words - You should always try to do your best and if you can honestly say that you have done your best then no one can expect more, but you should always try to improve on your best.

 

2. Not a quote but more of a code of life - To be my friend you only one qualification to be decent person, nothing else matters. To work for me you only need two qualifications, first be capable of prepared to do the job expected of you, second be a decent person.

 

I try to live up to both of these pieces of wisdom every day, if I could be half the man he was I'd be a better man than I am today.
