“An Indian analyzed conscience saying, ‘I know what my conscience is. It is a little three cornered thing in here (pointing to his heart). It stands still when I am good, but when I am bad it turns around and the corners hurt me very much. But if I keep on doing wrong, the corners wear off and it doesn’t hurt anymore.'”
The Riddle
The Riddle (from Paul Harvey, I believe):
When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.
What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it, The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you’ll die?
The Answer: NOTHING
Keep Your Lenses Clear
“Keep your lenses clear. Successful people perceive the world neither through pink lenses nor gray ones. They prefer clear lenses that portray the world as it is because that’s the world they must deal with. If you’re looking at a gray reality, don’t despair. Just shift your attention to another part of the picture. There’s a bright side to almost every situation. Find it and focus on it.” – Nido Qubein
