New Curriculum

If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.

Carl Sandburg

If the current syllabus doesn’t really lean in your favor, introduce a new curriculum, one that you are sure you will excel in.

Before you upset an order, plan for a new order;
The new order must not be a means to an end;
To serve the privileged few, forsaking the weak;
Nature abhors a vacuum, and life must eat life;

#spokenword

Life closes in, always in; never outside.
However much free you live, or you feel, time holds you personally accountable.
Freedom must eat responsibility.

#spokenword

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, “Why god? Why me?” and the thundering voice of God answered, There’s just something about you that pisses me off.

Stephen King, Storm of the Century

How mysterious is it, that often the poorest give the most, the weakest carry the heaviest and those with the least are the most contented.
Like the saying goes: “the one that receives eats better, the one that gives sleeps better“.

Moral Luck

the bible tells us not to point fingers, not to judge and to forgive… because anybody, and i mean anybody, presented with the right conditions, the right abusive neighbors, the right wrong family, the right mis-fortunes, and the right irrationality, the right anger… they can do the most monstrous deeds. most of us are just morally lucky, you are never better than anyone, ever. be humble and pray not to fall into temptation (but remember the pope removed the temptation part from the bible)

Am Free, Am Limitless

My limitations, lack, misfortunes, shortcomings, weakness, failures are my opportunities, is my advantage, is my freedom

There’s nothing i can’t do now, am limitless.

I have no status to maintain, i have no loyalty to keep, i have no pride to guard, i have no promise to fulfill, am free.

Exitus acta probat ~ the outcome justifies the deed.

I want to be responsible for my words, a man if my words; without it am nothing. I will be grateful. I will be ethical. I will protect life. I will honor hard work. I will respect the journey. I will appreciate the trying. I will love. I will love.

“Love is as much a question of the will as it is of the emotion. And if you WILL to love somebody, you can.” ~ Ravi Zacharias’ brother

Ravi Zacharias, I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah: Moving from Romance to Lasting Love

Time, patience, youth and good health will be my treasures.

…a certain koi had the strength and courage to climb a certain waterfall. When the koi reached the top exhausted, yet having reached its goal, the koi was transformed into a dragon…

The Story of the Koi Dragon

Value is not in work, value is in the process, the experiences, and the impact in another person.
