!*!*! Try and Try !*!*!

I have always seen life for what it really is. Ever since I was a child growing up, hard times are all I know.
I had to sit back and watch my mother work from sunset to sundown. I had to sit back and watch my mother work herself to her grave.
Nothing ever came easy for her. She always had a heart and kept a smile on her face.
Life is like a newborn baby struggling to come out of its mother's womb,life is a struggle true enough, but after all the struggling you have done,
and after all the hell you have been through, there is success. Life is nothing but a big struggle, but just keep the faith and focus on your goals.
Don't let life beat you or you will be walking around like zombies. Keep on pushing, keep on trying, life can be whatever you make it to be.
But life can also be a bowl of cherries with whip cream and apple pie. I say this again; life is what you make of it.
You can achieve or conquer anything it throws at you, you can't quit or give up, you have got to keep on working,
look higher some way, some how you are going to make it.

----David Cook

The Will To Win

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it

If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You'll get it!

-- Berton Braley

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

A friend is like a four leaf clover,
hard to find but lucky to have.

Friends

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.


- Jean Kyler McManus

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in many places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
---Gautama Buddha

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of
bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just
done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
--Alan Kay

Technology is dominated by two types of people: Those who understand what they do not manage. Those who manage what they do not understand.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in
Edsger Dijkstra

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair
Douglas Noel Adams

Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Progress isn't made by early risers or hard workers, but by Lazy people, trying to find easier ways to do the same
Henry Ford

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.
Michel de Montaigne

Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.

William Shakespeare

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.
Henry Ward Beecher

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
