That advice is much better than the old speech of "back in my day when we had to walk 10 km to school in the snow with no shoes on"!

This would also be about the 3,120,567th repost of that particular set of comments, but then I have been told 1,000,000 times not to exaggerate.

You still working too many long and boring hours mate?

[James Deuce]

I refuse to incriminate myself.

Yes.

I read that a long time ago. Pretty right on. Life isn't fair is a pretty good one. Shit happens, sometime for no outward reason. I guess its learning how to cope with what life throughs at you.

Here's a quote I have on the wall in my classroom at school:

by Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Uphill. Both ways!
