I work a community college IT help desk. A coworker and I are constantly reminded of the lost skills of listening and following instructions.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

@Jack2 So true…or at least communicating that they don’t understand and ask for clarity. But that is under the assumption that they care.

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn’t educate America if they started at 6:30.

I hope I get this right, as heard on the radio the other day:
Weak Men make Bad Times
Bad times make Strong Men
Strong Men make Good Times
Good Times make Weak Men

You can’t always get what you want

“It’s EASY to die - it’s the only way a slave can escape his pain.” - Kirk Douglas, SPARTACUS. I learned that there were two versions of the film - a full version for European audiences, and a censored version for U.S. audiences, thanks to the Hays Office in 1960. Try to find the fully restored version.

"Watch closely now, are you watching me now?
I’m the master magician, who’s setting you free
From the lies you’ve been told
When they’re breaking your back
Bring your last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I’m gonna need you later
When you’re not around
But I can take it
Don’t look down
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?"
Songwriters: Kenneth Lee Ascher / Paul H. Williams
