| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| March 17th PROMPT: Is success a result of luck, or hard work? Neither? Both? Read this article and share your thoughts... jamesclear.com/luck-vs-hard-work I read this article and I followed the premise as it was presented. I agree with the logic. I never considered the circumstances of my birth as luck. Who my parents were, where I was born, the state of my physical health, my inherited genes, the family finances, all of these are described as luck. Yes, they were and are beyond my control. They helped to shape me. What I chose to do with my 'gifts' was my free will. I could expand upon them. I could exploit them. I could learn from them and strive to learn more. We all apply varying levels of effort to our endeavours. Luck still needs blood, sweat, and tears. Some of us respond to pressure and require a nudge. Others thrive with their own initiative. Perhaps, at times, we need a little of both. If we are truly blessed, we realize our strengths and work with them. We are not content to rest on our laurels. We are never satisfied. Pursuing my passions is success. Participating in life is success. Forging relationships is success. |
