W. C. Fields

"There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation."

W.C. Fields
1880 - 1946
Actor, Comedian, Juggler, Writer

There will always be days when life hands us sour fruit.
It’s unavoidable.

But it’s not what happens to us that’s important.
It’s what we do about it.

Bad things happen to everyone.
Disease and injury will reach out to us.
Mistakes will be made.  Our character will be tested.

The important question to be asked at those times is:
What is this experience teaching me?

Life has and will continue to award us and bruise us.
Not learning from each of those experiences is just plain foolish.                      

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
