If we do not change direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.
I read this the other day, and love it. Reminds me of that old saying I hear today:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. Below is a drawing that a daughter submitted to her teacher, and the topic was “I want to be like my Mommy”:

After seeing this, the mom had to write a letter to the teacher and explain:
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn’t show me dancing around a pole. It’s supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

The new, revised Fissure trailer is now online at Trailer Addict. And, it allows you to embed the trailer in your own website or blog. If you do post it somewhere, please let me know.

As you may know from my posts, I’ve been training for a half-marathon, while my wife is training for a full marathon.
I came across this video yesterday about a guy who runs Ultra Marathons. What is an ultra marathon? Pain! It’s like a million miles, or something. Okay, not really, but it’s still way beyond human ability. There are 40-mile ultras and 100-mile ultras. The video was about a guy who does 150-mile ultra marathons. Very inspiring story!
He says one thing that really stands, one thing that all of us can take to heart, “You have to see yourself doing it. Unless you can see yourself doing it, you’ll never achieve it.”
