Results from Poor Man's College:

Most of us think ourselves as standing wearily and helplessly at the center of a circle bristling with tasks, burdens, problems, annoyance, and responsibilities which are rushing in upon us. At every moment we have a dozen different things to do, a dozen problems to solve, a dozen strains to endure. We see ourselves as overdriven, overburdened, overtired. This is a common mental picture and it is totally false. No one of us, however crowded his life, has such an existence. What is the true picture of your life?

The day may bring many tasks, many problems, strains, but invariably they come in single file. You want to gain emotional poise? Remember the hourglass, the grains of sand dropping one by one.: James Gordon Gilkey

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.: William Penn (1644 - 1718)
Business today consists in persuading crowds.: Gerald Stanley Lee
