About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You learn to take life as it comes at you...To Make Each Day Count!!

ABOUT ME

"So..ummm.. im still tryin to figure out myself but i havent found the instructions juss yet!"

PHILOSOPHY

"I bargained with life for a penny,
And Life would pay me no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menials hire, Only to learn,
dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid." - Napoleon Hill.
