A few things I've learned in life - (I didn't create these, I only restated them. - I don't know who to credit for the original idea.) 1. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard. 2. Most people don't have an attitude problem, they have a perception problem. 3. Everybody is somebody else's weirdo. 4. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. 5. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get. 6. On the ladder of success, people are usually able to climb one rung above the level at which they were competent. 7. Arguing with a fool is thrice foolish. It wastes your time, leaves you frustrated, and the fool enjoys it. Any favorites that you would like to share? Barry
