Blackfoot's Thoughts of the Day

[Blackfoot]

Wednesday, January 25th
----------------------------------

The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.

Well done is better than well said.


Happy Wednesday.

It is better to fail with honor than to succeed with fraud, at least according to some.

Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential process by which that intellect is cultivated beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.


Happy Thursday.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.


Happy Friday.

Saturday, January 28th
------------------------------

Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.


Happy Saturday.

Monday, January 30th
-----------------------------

Always do right. This will gratify some and astonish the rest.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose; for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.


Happy Monday.

Wednesday, February 1st
----------------------------------

Familiarity with danger makes a brave man braver, but less daring.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.


Happy Wednesday.

What happened to Tuesday? I had withdrawls. I even got the shakes. Thanks for the fix BF.

Thursday, February 2nd
-------------------------------

The government solution to a problem is often as bad as the problem.

What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.

In simplest terms, a leader is one who knows where he wants to go, and gets up, and goes.


Happy Thursday.

[Blackfoot]

Friday, February 3rd
---------------------------

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.

Every exit is an entry somewhere.


Happy Friday.

Just wanted to inform everyone that I ended up accepting a new job (the one I was interviewing for with the 'brick question'). I start my training on Monday so I won't be on the internet a quarter of how much I have been the past few months. This job I'm leaving allows me to check up on forums every five minutes if I want but that is all going to change for my new position.

During training I may not be around much at all (training will last about four weeks). I will try my best to get on at home when I can but I have dial up and limited time there. Once I get settled into my new job my hope is to be back on again with some resemblance of frequency.

Anyhow, the 'Thoughts of the Day' must be suspended indefinately. As I said, I will do my best to post one occasionally but I may not be able too. All of this may or may not interest some of you but I just didn't want the forum to think I had dissapeared. I hope to be back around again soon!
