you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Life is a journey. It is not a race to test

as the days slowly move past in dress review.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

but those who respect your right to your point of view.

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Walk on road, hmmm?
