Winners Affirmation

The Winner’s Manifesto              
LJ Kindred              
TAPE THIS TO YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR AND READ IT OUT LOUD EVERY NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED AND EVERY MORNING BEFORE YOU START YOUR DAY:

 I have stepped over the line.

The dye has been' cast. I have stepped over the line. My decision has been  made. I won't look back, let up, slow down, or back away. I am  finished and done with low living, slight-walking, small planning, lame divisions, mundane talking, colorless dreams, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need approval, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be first! I don't have to be right! I don't have to be recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded!

STEVEN WRIGHT

Subject: ANOTHER OF MY HEROES  -  STEVEN WRIGHT
  If you're not  familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the  famous erudite scientist  who once said: "I woke up one morning, and  all of my stuff had been stolen  and replaced by exact  duplicates."  His mind sees things differently  than most of us  do. . .

  Here are some of his gems:

  1 - I'd  kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

  2 - Borrow money from pessimists --  they don't expect it  back.

  3 - Half the people you know are below  average.

  4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

  5 -  82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Newt - Saving America

Mark Steyn

Latest on CO2 Myth

All of you out there in America and across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, you know ....that bogus god you worship of "Climate Change" or "global warming" ....well, I feel it is necessary to inform you of some bad news. It really does pain me to have to bring you this disappointing information.  Are you sitting down? Okay, here's the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash this past week, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet. I know, I know.... (group hug)...it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up til midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past four days. The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in the past four days has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.  And, those hundreds of thousands of American jobs you helped move to Asia with expensive emissions demands on businesses... you know, the ones that are creating even more emissions than when they were creating American jobs, well I just know that seems worthwhile now. I'm so sorry. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two years. So, grab a Coke, give the world a hug, and have a nice day

Ten Rules for Being Human

1.  You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2.  You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
3.  There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”
4.  Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.  Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.  “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”
7.  Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.  What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.  Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
