Mea Culpa

Mea Culpa

What did you wish for? I can’t tell you, because then it won’t come true.
Wishes are the opposite of worries.
I hate asking myself “What’s the worse that can happen?” because I already know.
If I think about them, they might come true. And I’d have nobody to blame but myself.
Mea culpa.

Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
Quotation from Arthur Somers Roche

Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
Quotation from Lily Tomlin

Everything Comes

Everything Comes

Everything comes to she who waits.
But that begs the obvious question: Do I really want to have Everything?

Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.
Quotation from A.A. Milne, Pooh’s Little Instruction Book

Self-Afflicted Brain Damage

Self-Afflicted Brain Damage

I do it too. I stand in my own way. I defeat myself. It’s like being chained.

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
Quotation from Winston Churchill

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.
Quotation from Willie Nelson

My Story (and I’m sticking to it)

My Story (and I’m sticking to it)

I sometimes can’t remember what I did yesterday, much less a week ago. Somebody in a crosswalk walked in front of me as I was driving- what was he wearing? What did I eat for lunch? Where did I lay my glasses? I don’t consider myself stupid, but why can’t I remember?

People are overly optimistic about the accuracy of their retrieved memories, probably because most errors have little practical consequence and go unnoticed. Given the confidence in their own memory accuracy, people have too much faith in the accuracy of eyewitnesses. Memory has a multitude of quirks and inaccuracies that creep into its everyday operation.
Quotation from Marc Green, Phd, Eyewitness Memory is Unreliable

Paradox Connection Strings

DataBaseQuery=EyesMouth&BodyLanguage;Provider=MySequel;PersistSecurity=Yes;
Allow=UltraSafeCommit;Use=LongQualifiers;Timeout=YesNoMaybe;Parameters=Required;
ExtendedProperties=Paradox; <= Yes, this is my post today. No, it doesn’t make sense.

The severed head was held up… by the executioner. This was not, as many people think, to show the crowd the head, but to show the head the crowd and it’s own body! Consciousness remains for at least eight seconds after beheading, until lack of oxygen causes unconsciousness and death.
Quotation from Jack & Jill (Rhymes.org) Nursery Rhymes: Lyrics and Origins
