my statement about life & how we
        deal with it
         
      we all face problems! 
      but it is not the problems we face,  
      rather how we face those problems,  
 that determines
      their outcome.
       outcomes are not inherently good or bad,
      right or wrong, positive or negative.  rather, what makes outcomes
      good or bad is an individuals passing judgment into decision.
       outcomes are not as they appear, at first
      glance,  
 but rather how
      you choose to perceive them, after several glances, giving weight to all
      possible related factors juxtaposed over time via a universal perspective.

          poem:  wild thing 
        
          i never saw a wild thing 
          sorry for itself. 
          a small bird will drop frozen dead 
          from a bough 
          without ever having felt sorry for itself.

        prayer - a texas billionaire has a prayer something like
        this  
        (i heard it on radio): 
        
          dear lord, 
          let me seek the truth, but spare me the comfort 
          of those people who think they have found it. 
         
         
            
        
 
      albert einstein was selected
      "man of the century" by time magazine for his theory of
      relativity. here is some of his "down-to-earth" wit and wisdom: 
      
        
            | if most of us are ashamed of shabby
          clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas
          and shoddy philosophies. |  
        
            | two things are infinite: the universe
          and human stupidity. and i'm not sure about the universe. |  
        
        
            | sometimes one pays most for the things
          one gets for nothing. |  
        
        
            | we can't solve problems by using the
          same kind of thinking we used when we created them. |  
        
            | a + b + c = success if, a = hard work, b
          = hard play, c = keeping your mouth shut. |  
        
        
            | the hardest thing in the world to
          understand is the income tax. |  
        
        
            | put your hand on a hot stove for a
          minute, and it seems like an hour. sit next to a pretty girl for an
          hour, and it seems like a minute. that's relativity. |  
        
        
            | god is subtle, but he is not malicious. |  
        
        
            | not everything that can be counted
          counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. |
