Jack’s Winning Words 8/4/14
“Nothing we can do can change the past, but everything we do changes the future.”  (Ashleigh Brilliant)  These “Brilliant” words seem to echo Isaac Newton’s law…”Every action results in a reaction.”  Some people today call it, Karma.  Everything is the result of something else.  What we choose to do today will alter our tomorrow.  Opportunity is before us to make a difference.  The past is past.  It’s time to move on!    ;-)  Jack

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  Like====JACK:  Karma seems to be a concept that would interest you. 

FROM PLH IN MINNESOTA:  good words today, Jack, as usual.====JACK:  Thanks for your reaction.  I always wonder what (if any) response I will get when I send out WWs in the early AM.

FROM EMT SINGS IN TRAVERSE CITY:  He is being his usual Brilliant self!====JACK:  I could find a good Ashleigh quote for every day...he has so many of them.  But, I read that he once sued somebody for using his stuff without authorization.  I don't want to push my luck.

FROM JE IN MICHIGAN:  This is perfect for today, a Monday with a lot to do.====JACK:  Just think!  What you are doing today is going to change the rest of the week for you.  Isn't Newton's 3rd Law and an amazing concept?

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  As Jane Goodall once said, "You can't get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."   Enuff said...we are on the mission field every single day!====JACK:  Is it possible that when Jane talks with the chimps, it's a mission field work?  It's possible, isn't it?  BTW, you can probably sing this song....right NOW!
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it,
 Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee,
 Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah,
 What a neat achievement it would be!
 If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages,
 Maybe Take an animal degree,
 I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle,
 Alligator, guinea pig, and flea!
 I would converse in polar bear and python,
 And I would curse in fluent kangaroo,
 If people ask me "can you speak rhinoceros?"
 I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"
 If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal,
 Think of the amazing repartee
 If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals,
 Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals,
And they could squeak and skwawk and speak and talk to us!
 If I consult with the quadrupeds
 Think what fun we’d have,
 asking for the crocodiles for tea!
 Or maybe lunch with three lions, walruses and sea lions
 What a lovely place the world would be!
 If I spoke slang to orangutans
 The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see!
 Discussing Eastern art and dramas
 With intellectual llamas
 That’s a big step forward you’ll agree!
 I’d learn to speak in antelope and turtle
 And my Pekinese would be extremely good
 If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
 I’d say “whynotamous?” and I would!
 If I could parlay with pachyderms
 It’s a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
 A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals
 Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals
 and they could talk to *me*!
 I’d study every *living* creature’s language
 So I could speak to all of them on site
 If friends said “can he talk in crab or pelican?”
You’d say “*like hell he can” and you'll be right!
 And if you just stop to think of it
 there's no doubt of it
 I would win a place in history
 If I could walk with the animals
 Talk with the animals
 Grunt no word here squeak and squawk with the animals
 And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me!
