Sadly, it sends a clear message to the observant that you are still hurt. If only women would realize that we all have moments of stupidity then they would stop comparing themselves to the masses.

When we understand the fragility of life, we live consciously. People generally live as if they have all the time in the world. They don’t. They have the time of one lifetime, however long that will be. It’s not a lot. We don’t have enough time to procrastinate and waste large chunks of our lives. It is a valuable offering when we give our attention and love to anything in life. What we spend our time on will determine the course of our life. If we know that we are here for a short time, our choices will become more meaningful and satisfying. We don’t have to be told to be brave and follow our inner leanings when we are aware of our limited time. Who cares what other people think of us when we are busy living a brief life to the best of our ability? We will want to use it every day to better ourselves and the world we live in. Donna Goddard

Alper Mazun

Stanley was passed from store to store doing free labor in exchange for an opportunity to learn the business. This way I decide which business I like well enough to set up for myself, he told me.
