Change

Never change for anyone except yourself. Never ask anyone to change except yourself. Never want to change unless you want to change.

A Champion

A champion has confidence, not arrogance. Arrogance belongs to self-centered people who want to be respected but don't demonstrate the character of a champion to earn, let alone deserve, it. They may get the title but it's an empty one as everyone sees and knows they aren't a champion, just a wanna be wrapped in their own arrogance.

Youth and Age

We all get old, if we live that long, but we should never lose the memory of our youth, it is what made us who we are when we get old.

Diversity

Challenge is found in diversity. Ingenuity comes from diversity. Answers and solutions come from diversity. And diversity comes from people. In diversity is the world, and everything it contains. Seek diversity to find everything else to make you a diverse person.

People

Don't surround yourself with only like-minded people, it only serves to reinforce your view of things making your view of the world smaller. Always surround yourself with people of diverse experience and view to make your world the largest it can be, to fully see, know and understand the all of the world.

A Lie

You can't deny a lie. By its very nature a lie is a false statement so you can't confirm it's a lie or deny it's not a lie. A lie is itself a lie, and nothing can or should be said, except, if necessary, to only acknowledge the reality of what it is, a lie.

Go

Go in life where your feet take you and your eyes find interesting. Go where you mind finds curious and your heart finds love. Go where you become whole.

Life and Living

Life is not optional, it's given. Living, however, is optional.

A Blank Page

So what would you write or draw?

Words

It is not the volume or quantity of words spoken that matters, it is their content that matters.

Ideology

Ideology is only good when it is good.

Things You Do Not Do

Seeing a photograph got me to thinking about things you do not do in life, so I decided to start an on-going list I'll update now and then, when the thought strikes enough to express it. And so I'll begin.

Things you do not do in life
1.-- Do not follow a septic tank truck in the afternoon. It's obviously finished for the day and going back to the office.

2.-- Never lean back an a chair you've never sat in before. Balance is always a tentative thing, especially your own.
