Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you
nothing; it was here first.  Few things are harder to put up with than
the annoyance of a good example.  About happiness There is only one
success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to
give others absurd maddening claims upon it. -Christopher Darlington
Morley (1890-1957)

Brian was a boy with Down's Syndrome. He was taking several
medications. Brian came from a nurturing family and extended family
who provided him with every opportunity. His mother was a teacher and
wanted what was best for him. He exhibited no language and was
considerably behind his other friends with Down?s Syndrome. We set up
a noun program at school. At first he seemed disinterested. He looked
at the pictures and sucked his thumb. The more we encouraged him to
engage the keyboard, the more he sucked his thumb. We then paired him
with a child who was very interested in the noun program. Suddenly the
two were fighting over who was next to pick a picture. He worked
several times a week at the computer. At his 3-year IEP, the team
shook their heads. They didn't understand. Despite the track record of
many students with Down?s Syndrome, Brian's language was his best
skill. I smiled and his mother winked at me.  It's kind of fun to do
the impossible. Walt Disney

Joseph has just remembered walking. Jack is not missing singing near
the station.  I missed shouting carefully. Don't you regret eating
about once a week?

If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish
thing. -Anatole France [Jacques Anatole Thibault] (1844-1924) 

If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. -Yiddish
proverb 

The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one
who does.  About life
