REPLY TO ALL:

When I discovered SI about a month ago, it was to research NYRR. I took the teckie approach and was a little irritated by off topic and nonsense chatter. Especially Jack. Well, I wrote Jill an e-mail last night (at 2 a.m. she was working!) to explain my metamorphsis from teckie to humanist, and that I think this board provides a forum for a lot of psychological stress release. This board is remarkable in having a large number of very estute writers who aren't afraid to let their hair down. And, there IS room for reasonable off topic in any thread.

By the way, Jack and I are now great friends and the e-mail flys back and forth. So, Wayne and Ed, I like your style . . . keep it coming.

Quotes from the book, "Think and Grow Rich", by Napolean Hill.

"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

"For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

"I worked for a menial's hire
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."

--------------------
"If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

"If you think you'll loose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will--
It's all in the state of mind.

"If you think you are outclassed you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

"Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!"
