Weekending: A Commonplace Book

Far better it is 

to dare mighty things,

to win glorious triumphs even

though checkered by failure,

than to rank with those poor

spirits who neither enjoy

nor suffer much

because they live in the gray

twilight that knows neither

victory nor defeat.




Theodore Roosevelt







I've been thinking along these lines recently, 

as I contemplate some big decisions. 

And being 50, I realize that big decisions are especially important.




My sage advice for those younger than me: 

if you dream it, dare it.  

Better to take a chance than to live with regret.
