Jokes and Quotes

This is a cool one I wrote it down.. Thanks

Hope you dont think this reply is out of place, but think it follows the above post by learning not to pre-judge. when i was a young person of the age of 15 living in a small town in north central texas, my dad taught me a lesson that at the time, seemed to only pretain to the current situation. The current situation was blacks coming to our school for the very first time. He told me that they were just as nervouse coming here as we were with having them here. But the lesson he taught me was to never,never, never judge a person based on anything other than the merits of the person. Based on who the person was inside, not on what someone might say. And over the years, I found this lesson was true in my everyday life no matter what was happening. I always give anyone the benefit of the doubt to learn who they really are. Hpe this wasnt to long winded for you all, but we all have a tendacy to pre-judge. Give the other person a break and let thm show you who and what they are.

Thanks

“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
