Hi Uncle Frank, and everyone. What a terrible Naz day today and more to come for all markets tomorrow. Wonder how we know when the bleeding has stopped and its a "buying opportunity". I know I know, its always a good time to buy a Gorilla or gorilla maybe.
Interesting coincidence of life: Many years ago when I was a young teacher in Arizona, my principal and I became good friends (we still occasionally phone or write) and she shared a poem that I always remembered called "Anyway". I asked her for it about two years ago and she could not find it. I could not find it either so put the thought aside. Last month, walking down the streets of Park City Utah, I noticed a small Indian "oddments to buy" shop and in the window, posted, was.... You guessed it
Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered, Love Them Anyway If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, Do Good Anyway If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies Succeed Anyway The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow, Do Good Anyway Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable, Be Honest and Frank anyway What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight Build anyway People really need help but may attack you if you help them Help people anyway Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth Give The World The Best You've Got Anyway.
From a sign on the wall of shishu Bhavan, the children's home in Calcutta.
(And from a Libertarian point of view, do all this because you want to, not because someone is forcing you.) The poem still delights me. Freeus |
