i'm the Author of My Life .. {'others' are provisionally welcome !}

.. Some things in Life, you just have to take/ accept them, as they are.. And, they Can't be improved upon .. Like this quote !  [ ;

I confess, that, in my long ago 'formative years' - I was, on More-than-a-few occassions ..hung up, stultified, delayed & frustated, by the way, in which our public ed. system, was designed .. Of which, the social- support infrastructure, was dependent, on everyone, being distracted, by the challenges of, Life - As we've All come to know it ! o:

.. We have found the 'enemy'.. and, it is US ! .. {admittedly, some, more, to-much-more, than others!}

.. Found, under, 'competitiveness' quotes ..'images'

'Heavy', if, very logical thought ! .. There are a whole slew of people in Life - Of whom, the chances are - Would be, somewhat beneficial to know - Yet, the sheer numbers involved, {of people}.. Tends, to insure.. That, if you, ever Do 'cross paths'.. It will likely be, in a superficial sort of way.

..I've come to the realization, that.. whether one decides to give a supplicant, a 'hand up', as-it-were.. Or, end up, with a 'negative nod'.. It All revolves around, being {psychologically}, prepared in advance .. Plus, a modicum,  {if ya feel 'led'}, of,  discernment.

Ps., To my older 'bro' if he sees this .. I very rarely feel 'moved' to give $omething !
