Contribution to Statistics

Out of a hundred people those who always know better
-- fifty-two

doubting every step
-- nearly all the rest,

glad to lend a hand if it doesn't take too long
-- as high as forty-nine,

always good because they can't be otherwise
-- four, well maybe five,

able to admire without envy
-- eighteen,

suffering illusions induced by fleeting youth
-- sixty, give or take a few,

not to be taken lightly
-- forty and four,

living in constant fear of someone or something
-- seventy-s even,

capable of happiness
-- twenty-something tops,

harmless singly, savage in crowds
-- half at least,

cruel when forced by circumstances
-- better not to know even ballpark figures,

wise after the fact
-- just a couple more than wise before it,

taking only things from life
-- thirty (I wish I were wrong),

hunched in pain, no flashlight in the dark
-- eighty-three sooner or later,

righteous
-- thirty-five, which is a lot,

righteous and understanding
-- three,

worthy of compassion
-- ninety-nine,

mortal
-- a hundred out of a hundred.
Thus far this figure still remains unchanged.

Make Today a Breeze Not a Battle


Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for.
Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way. If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more.
Make today a breeze not a battle.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

--William Boetcker


Nobody motivates today's workers. If it doesn't come from within, it doesn't come.

Fun helps remove the barriers that allow people to motivate themselves.

--Herman Cain



Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

--Frank Outlaw
