"Truth is the cry of all, but the game of the few."
-George Berkeley-

It's probably unanimous that everyone wants the truth when spoken to. So, as the Golden Rule would  request...let's all do better at  giving it ourselves as well.

This includes commitments, follow-throughs, and polite, yet honest feedback. 

No more complicated than that. Everyone--let's raise the bar a little, at least in the truth department.

That's my view...what say you?

"We have a choice: to plow new ground or to let the weeds grow."
-Virginia Dept of Agriculture brochure, 1959-

~~Move on, and be part of the solution- or sit around on our duffs, complaining and doing nothing.

~~Get better or stay stagnant.

~~Be part of creating something new and exciting with who knows what type potential eventually blooms--or--stay idle and let the old ways hamper and stifle.

It's a line being drawn in the sand. It's a clear choice--going in two totally opposite directions. Choose wisely.

When reporters asked this astronaut what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone Rocket, waiting for liftoff, the reply was ...
"The fact that every part of this ship was built by the low bidder..."
-Alan Shepard, NASA astronaut-

Something to think about, the next time you are purchasing anything that has significance. There is an old saying that is more true than false...'Price. Quality. Service. Pick any 2 of 3 you like.'

Sure, no one liked to be had or ripped off. Of course, we all want the best deal. I wonder how many times the 'best deal' up front was largely determined by price-- and later wished upon, that it was never purchased.  

Food for thought...

"No matter what your past has been, you have a spotless future."
-Anonymous-

What a shame that this is an anonymous quote--but isn't that how life is? Some of the best stuff  comes from humble, quality people--quietly improving the world, one bit at a time.

How superb is this statement? It's 1000% TRUE!

Right now--- today---going forward-- our slate is crystal clean. Sparklingly absent of junk, faultiness, and other bad things.

Let's take advantage of that. Let's leave all baggage and things we are not proud of, behind us.
After all-- it's in the past, it cannot be altered--so leave it there.

Let's make today a productive, helpful, and wonderfully prosperous day. And tomorrow-- REPEAT.

Remember-- for each and every one of us--our future IS spotless! Wow, that's exciting!

Blog Quote #623...
"I am not young enough to know everything."
-Oscar Wilde-

I believe Mr Wilde is spoofing and being a bit sarcastic here. Usually the older you get the wiser you become. And many times-- when talking to youth, they have all the answers. Or, at least they think they do.

Blog Quote #624...
"You practice and you get better. It's very simple."
-Philip Glass, American composer-

Probably a question, aimed at Glass' expertise--asking him how he got so good at his talent. This obviously an understatement, as he could have added  'over, and over, and over, and over' after the word practice.

Also hints at an old adage, when striving for brilliance:There is no elevator to success-- you have to take the stairs!
