Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

If we could use 500 words to tell who we are and what we want, what would we say? A great many things would have to be left out. We could not brag nor gloat nor tell how we used our smarts to get “where we are.”

If we could use 500 words to tell who we are and what we want, what would we say? A great many things would have to be left out. We could not brag nor gloat nor tell how we used our smarts to get “where we are.”

Where we are is very temporary unless we hone it with love and work and vision. No one is really born to success. If it is spotted early and carried by the winds to high places, it can be blown out of reason. Someone said everyone has 17 seconds of fame in life but that kind of fame can be swallowed up by a bug or washed away by a spate of rain.

Having heart, not brains, make the difference. Getting rich and famous is more likely to happen if a rich relative dies and gives a brain to a dolt than someone with an ego and the need to fleece someone without their knowing it.
