i realized that all of us, are only as good as how we treat the people we dislike the most. a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and thus the fundamental truth applies here. and while all of us have good things to show, kind words, sacrificial actions, i think that what matters more than that is the truth, the worst, and they way we act when we don't have to be nice. maybe we've been asking the wrong question all along, it is not how good are you at your best? but rather, how bad are you at your worst? i think that speaks volumes more of our character. interesting thought to ponder on! :) so how bad is your worst today?

and prisc asked me to watch 'the last lecture' by randy pausch, and it had some really good stuff to bite on. here they are...
and he showed up for practice... and he hadn't brought any footballs. how are we gonna practice without any footballs? and one of the other kids said "excuse me coach, we don't have a football." and coach graham said," right, how many men are on the football field at a time?" "11 on a team, 22." and coach graham said," and how many people are holding the football at any given time?" "one of em'." "right and today we're gonna work on what the other 21 guys are doing."
when you're screwing up, and nobody's saying anything to you anymore, that means they gave up.
experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted.
the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.
wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you.
you can't change the card you're dealt, just how you play the hand.
people vs. things, people always matter more! (the gist of it la)
if you live properly, the dreams will come to you.
where we first discovered the meaning of life. sorta. :)
thanking God for His hand in everything,
candice! :D
