With all that is going on in the news, I was reminded of an old song from the 60’s. The song is “The Eve of Destruction”. It was sung by Barry McGuire. Part of the lyrics go like this, “you can hate your brother, but not forget to say grace.” That led me to something that President LBJ said. He was commenting on his presidency and said, Ho Chi Mingh had contacted him to arrange a meeting. He wanted to talk to LBJ about ending the war in Vietnam. It was early in his presidency and his advisers told Johnson that he should not have that meeting with Ho Chi Mingh. President Johnson said it was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. Being able to communicate and not wanting to is such a waste of time and effort. Look at the multi-media companies trying their very best to convince you that you need to buy this item or vote for this person. How long did it take you to learn to use electronic equipment? How long did it take for you to become proficient? Now look at what you do. Is this what you wanted to do in the first place? I have always tried to improve myself. I have done it by different methods, but mostly by reading and studying. I then would take the information and try to put it into practice. I haven’t always been successful. I find that the most successful endeavor I have ever done is cooking. Unfortunately I am over weight. It has to do with my oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies. Everybody loves them and wants me to make them. I always taste my recipe before I cook. But I am proficient.
