reminder to myself

Reminds me what my grandfather used to tell me: "Life is for living, not putting up with"

Wise words all

Just be careful, although George was a vegetarian pacifist, it's words like that which spur on greed-heads to trample over the less fortunate and excuse it all by dismissing them as having 'no ambition'

Well that's a good point Biz, and I hadn't read it like that. I guess I was thinking more the 'put on a happy face' and create beautiful opportunities gently and with integrity, maybe take a flex and go to the beach kind - not the yucky big-haired go gettem, make a motza and build a barbie mansion kind. But it's a fine line I guess...
