Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Ludwig von Mises ------------- If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, donā€™t deal in lies, Or being hated, donā€™t give way to hating, And yet donā€™t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dreamā€”and not make dreams your master; If you can thinkā€”and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth youā€™ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ā€™em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ā€˜Hold on!ā€™ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kingsā€”nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty secondsā€™ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything thatā€™s in it, Andā€”which is moreā€”youā€™ll be a Man, my son!

I wear a lot of hats, and I chew a lot of fat. Don't fence me in.
If I'm not gardening, sewing, dancing, or playing with grandkids, I'm probably running, swimming, taking horseback riding lessons, or studying Chinese. Read about it at: funlearningchinese.com funfitnessafter50.com thehappylibertarian.com dailyimprovisations.com biblenewspress.com
I tell the truth and only the truth.
