Jack’s Winning Words 3/21/14
“We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.”  (Lyndon B. Johnson)  “The Time Paradox” is a book by two Stanford psychologists which explores how our mind influences our life and world around us.  Some live always in the past.  Some live just for the present.  Some only look to a better future.  Their conclusion:  Balance is best.  A little bit of each…Appreciate yesterday.  Enjoy today.  Plan for tomorrow.”    ;-)  Jack

 FROM ED DOC:  WISDOM!!! Thanks, Jack!====JACK:  You may have heard of the 7 cardinal sins, but did you know that there are the 4 cardinal virtues...and that wisdom is one of them?

 FROM IKE AT THE MIC:  I'm reminded of a "Charlie" cartoon:  Charlie & Lucy are on the deck of a cruise ship where many  of the passengers are sitting on deck chairs,some of them facing forward & some of them facing backward.  Lucy remarks to Charlie: "Look Charlie some of the people are looking forward to see what's ahead & others are looking backward to see what they may have missed,what type of person are you Charlie?  Do you want to see what's ahead or what you may have missed?  Charlie responds with "I'm one of those people that has difficulty unfolding the deck chair"====JACK:  Now, that's a good one.  I read a "Peanuts" rerun every day.  In today's strip, as his baseball team's manager, Charlie tries to make a decision, but is overcome by wishy-washiness.  Sometimes...Is looking at Charlie Brown like looking into a mirror?

 FROM HCC CHUCK:  Great thought but not always easy to accomplish.====JACK:  ...like the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments..

 FROM GUSTIE MARLYS:  AMEN.    Probably the only thing LBJ said that I agree with!  Ha! ====JACK:  Here are some things he said that you might also agree with..."I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it."  ...and, "You aren't learning anything when you're talking."
