Re: July Army Manoeuvres
Morning folks,
A little later.. but did a 12hr stretch of work on the dissertation front yesterday so am able to take it a bit easier today... until my supervisor calls and we discuss what final work I need to do...
The fragility of life indeed - yet despite this, odd how we abuse our bodies in such ways as to tempt death's arrival sooner rather than later. Kind of like a self-mutiliation. I look to dudes such as Mr Tutu and Mr Lama and am inspired by their outlook and approach to life. Mr Mandela too. He would be 100 today folks. Here's a good quote from him...
I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.
And another, which I may make my signature... I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Have a great day folks.
