he didn't complain, even to self, as he sacrificed. he'd made choice ¬hing'd stop him.
"I'm going to live. Do you hear me, God?" voices were exploding in his head. after a night of sleepless self debate.. forcing all this out of his mind. banda had to learn to trust an age-old enemy- a white man. (tale as old as time). Jamie refused to let his imagination linger on the dangers that lay ahead waiting for the waves of pain to recede (physical pain is such a joke). he was semi conscious, an automation. something outside him directed his movement. she lowered her eyes, afraid the stranger might read her wicked thoughts (telepathy ). her rebellious thoughts, the poor dreamer his life was being destroyed, God had chosen him -as he had once chosen Job. (LOL). "I'm a woman, I have a right to change my mind." HA. "y can't u be like other girls yer age?" "I'd rather die 1st, don't want to be like anybody else." it's like all great inventions -it's so simple you wonder why somebody didn't think it sooner my God, Kate how much more do you want? &without thinking, she replied, "all there is." he could have painted from dawn to dawn, letting the sun and the sea heal her . she was as disciplined with herself, as she was with everyone around her, there isn't anything she won't suffer to get what she wants. she was adept at getting around rules. nothing was going to stop that one she felt inferior, but it never occurred to her, she'd carefully nourished feeling since kids. "I'm not responsible for what I say or do, I'm in love."

if you can keep your head , when all about you are losing theirs &blaming.. trust yourself when all men doubt, but make allowance for their doubting too; if you can wait ¬ be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating, &yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise. if you can dream -¬ make dreams your master; think -¬ make thoughts your aim; if you can meet w Triumph &Diaster, &treat those 2 imposters just the same; if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap fro fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. &stoop &build em up w worn -out tools. if you can make 1 heap of all your winnings &risk it on 1 turn of pitch &toss, &lose, &start again at your beginnings, &never breathe a word about your loss.. if you can talk w crowds &keep your virtue, or walk w Kings -nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. if all men count w you, but none too much.. Yours is the Earth &everything that's in it, &-which is more -you'll be a Man, my son!

nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. persistence &determination alone are omnipotent. -calvin coolidge i am not an extraordinary man, &i am quite ordinary. but God chose me for something quite extraordinary. -a. valladares receives '16 canterbury medal.
not failure, but low aim, is crime -james russell lowell
a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus -mlk jr. (you are all leaders .#experts) 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 them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust &sweat &blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again &again because there is no effort without error &shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best knows in the end the trump of high achievement, &who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold &timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -theodore roosevelt
