Jack’s Winning Words 7/24/19
“Success is 99% failure.)  (Soichiro Honda)  As a student, Honda was a failure, dropping out of school to become a mechanic.  The Model T Ford fascinated him.  He became such a successful car builder that People magazine dubbed him the Japanese Henry Ford.  I remember a time, post-WW 2, when it was considered unpatriotic to drive a Honda.  But generations come and go and Hondas are now best-sellers.  Do you think that today’s prejudices will turn around also?   ;-)  Jack

FROM ST [AUL IN ST PAUL:  good one, Jack!   i will add this one to my perseverance file. ===JACK:  Would it be a miracle if today's prejudices would turn around into something positive? ===SP:  Yes! we can surely hope and pray for that!===JACK:  But, do you think that there's a possibility that it might come pass?===SP:  don't hold your breath.   you will turn blue for sure.===JACK:  I'm already blue (Democrat).

FROM HAWKEYE GEORGE: Yes, over time like WW II justifiable dislike of Germans & Japanese, countries who now are among our strongest allies.===JACK:  Might it be possible that in the future Muslims, Christians and Jews will celebrate their commonality through Abraham?  Just wondering!===GEORGE:  Will they all think of Jesus Christ as their Savior?===JACK:  So...your answer is, "NO! There will always be strife among people over religion." 

 FROM RS IN TEXAS:  If we can stop putting people into categories and blaming entire groups for the actions of a few.....and try to understand their point of view and why they feel the way they do. ===JACK:  "IF" is a little word with a BIG meaning.===RS:  Amen to that!

FROM GDJ:  Yes. The human pendulum will swing back toward tolerance. I just wish, hope and pray it will swing all the way to love.===JACK:  I'm not so sure that God uses the Gregorian calendar or even a clock, but as the hymn puts it:

Our times are in Thy hand;    O God, we wish them there;
Our lives, our souls, our all, we leave    Entirely to Thy care.

Our times are in Thy hand:    Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,    As best may seem to Thee.

Our times are in Thy hand;    Why should we doubt or fear?
A father’s hand will never cause    His child a needless tear.

Our times are in Thy hand;    We’ll always trust to Thee,
Till we possess the promised crown,    And all Thy glory see.

FROM MARMAR:  I just want to say that I have driven Hondas for more than 20 years and I love them!===JACK:  The workers at the Honda factory in Ohio appreciate your loyalty.

FROM CPABM:  The most extraordinary tourist attraction we’ve seen (probably second to the Grand Canyon and the Alps in Winter) are the Postojna Caves in Slovenia.  For a starter, you ride a train in  the caves for fifteen or twenty minutes before you can walk and explore the caves.  Check them out. ===JACK:  Have you ever been to Carlsbad Caverns National Park?  During the cave tour the lights are turned out.  DARK!

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  I have driven only Honda’s for 19 years.  We’ve never had a problem with any of them.  Honda’s are the only “foreign” car in the Henry Ford Museum.  My Hondas are 100% made in the USA.      I would like to believe these prejudices will end...I pray they will.    PS.  Someone keyed my Honda.===JACK:  I suppose that the profits from the sale of American-made Hondas go back to Japan.  Business is business.
