Once Upon a Time in the Vest



Yesterday in conversation with a former student, Kevin,  I learned a few ideas and quotes worth noting and sharing with all.  Perhaps this was because I was in a reflective mood after learning of the passing of a good friend and fellow track nut, Phil Scott.  I will write more about Phil in a future posting.

"Without risk, there is no self exploration or expansion."  Kevin

"What is on the other side of fear?"   Kevin

"All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from , and to , and why."      James Thurber

"Habit rules the unreflecting herd."   Wordsworth

Enough Already.   George
