hmm.........

things are not always as bad as they seem on the surface. sometimes you have to realize that all that glitters is not gold. the formerly hopeless situation has a glimmer of hope. it's on the rocks so there is hope yet. i seem to go between hopelessly optimistic and depressingly cynical. it is something i need to work on. i was talking to a guy at work and he asked me what i wanted to do with my life. he said, "you are eighteen. you have your whole life in front of you. what are you going to do with it?" i replied, " i am going to try to get the military to teach me how to fly an aircraft of some sort." he said, "there is no trying. either you are going to do it or you aren't. you have to decide to put your mind to it. once you put your mind to something your only limitation is your ambition." that really surprised me coming from this guy. i guess i shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. and once again i have come full circle again. probus nox....
