"Happiness isn't getting what you want, but wanting what you have" - Garth Brooks
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, but still knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst fails while daring greatly, s...Expand for more

- THE MAN IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Whose judgement upon you must pass.
The fella whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass
"adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it" --- John Wooden".
