Is It Real?

In fact "most" of what we regard as real is nothing more than our "perception" of reality. (Larsen and Hegarty, Believing In Myself, 11 June) 31 August 2011

Audacity

... bad decisions always result in bad consequences. (Billy Graham, Hope For Each Day, 25 June)

******

Last night I achieved my first result recording twenty minutes of music from a cassette tape using the program Audacity. The program has lots of controls, so there is lots to learn. I saved the recording in the Audacity format and the WAV format. I didn't record the second side of the tape and I didn't attempt to break each track out into a separate file. Copying music in this manner is a very time consuming process.

Yesterday my neighbor Jim and I learned how to watch tennis and Little League Baseball using ESPN 3 on our laptop computers. I even got the Picture-In-A-Picture to work. All very cool.

Daily Reading And Study

You will find that daily reading and study provide you with a deeper and richer experience of life in all ways. This is particularly gratifying when you know that you are doing it out of choice rather than as an assignment. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Wisdom of the Ages, p. 24)

Conformity

Society demands conformity; if you fall beneath its standards, it will punish you, if you rise above the standards, it will persecute you. It demands an average grey conformity. (Anonymous, Every Day Light, Selwyn Hughes, Day 174)

Ladder of Success

You can't climb the ladder of success if you are afraid to get off the ground.
