Father Forgets:

Great piece found in Dale Carnegie's , "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

Learn to appreciate each day!

Food for thought.

How would you like to be the Boston Celtics today? Great win, historic comeback. Up three games to one lead in the best of 7 series. Momentum clearly on your side. Chemisty is Herculean, no fear. They know they have the Lakers on the ropes.

How would you like to be Phil Jackson today? Stomach in knots. Humiliated far beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. 9 time champion, watched his team play one of the greatest half’s of basketball, all cylinders pumping, LA, the excitement, the crowd, belief, frenzy, all to vanish before his eyes. Sheer ecstasy to sheer horror!

Such is life, we usually find ourselves caught in the middle. We will deal with both extremes. Much like father forgets, they are just barometers.

Appreciate what you have and realize that the highs and lows are inevitable.

" In life there is neither happiness or unhappiness, it’s all a comparison of one state to another. Only A person who has dealt with ultimate despair is cabable of ultimate bliss. A man has got to wish to die, in order to know how good it is to live. "

- Alexander Dumas
"The Count of Monte Cristo "
