When in charge, ponder.
When in trouble, delegate.
When in doubt, mumble.

I don’t write for children. I write, and someone says, “That’s for children.”

Keep your chin up,
No one expected you to save the world,
Otherwise, you would have been born wearing a cape and tights.
Just do the best you can.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. John Lennon

I posted this recently, but it bears repeating
“.. almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” – Steve Jobs
This post was written on my MacBook Air- Thanks Steve, and Rest in Peace.
