My driving thoughts...
"If success is its own reward then perseverance is the only option. When the world knocks you down you get back up. Now I'm not telling you to take a hit, a slap in the face, Just pick your battles. The pen has always been mightier than the sword. And a letter, a few chosen words from a man with a bachelors trumps a punk with a fist any day".
After seeing and honing in on life's ins and out, its daily occurrences, I have finally pushed myself back into school to complete my degree. I have a few weeks left in my summer semester and I must say it has totally been worth it. It is never to old to learn new things and expand the mind. Knowledge is empowering, and right now, I feel like an empowered young african american male who is going to continue on my quest, my self fulfilled prophecy. The world is indeed our oyster people, what we consume (mentally, emotionally, physically) and what we put out, determines our pearls (lifes) clarity and grade. Never be deterred, never back down. Find something that is worth dying for, and live for that. Move forward, if only to say, yes I've made it. But never go quietly into the night. Even the most harsh and monstrous of waves eventually recede from the sands, and there is always, always an opportunity to rebuild.
Good day, and god bless...

Hey Richard, missed you. But I'm so very glad to see that your finishing something you've started. I'm sure that you are challenging your instructors (smile) I need to finish at least one of my books and not let this job take over my true passion. I love that you said, "Find something to die for and live for that." Don't know if you borrowed that or not, but simply Beautiful!
