Life comes with problems
"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
-- Fr. Alfred D'Souza
The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)

*Our whole family had the privilege of watching this little cicada emerge from it's "old skin" into his new body & we all found it fascinating (I forgot to grab the camera in time to get pics of him half-way in his "shell"). It got me thinking...isn't it funny how the simple things in nature can be so profound sometimes :-)
