people are frequently difficult to deal with, absurd and egotistical give them a smile in any case people may point fingers at you charge you as being a fraud with ulterior motives smile them down and if you are doing well in life you'll find you're friends who are not your friends try to find the friends from the others if you're an principled man, you'll be taken advantage of still be principled what you spend years making your dream happen a hot shot could wipe it all out go back to making your dream happen you're peaceful and happy they may be resentful don't let that turn your smile into a frown give your best always people resent your staying power don't let what they think corrode doing your best ahhh . . . in the ultimate examination what, and who you are is strictly connected to you and your scruples ©October 26, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

So true my friend! I still remember when I was a kid and the first time I heard the word scruples, I thought it was a part of the male anatomy. Lori |
