The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Excuses are indeed useless. Excuses have not place in our lives, excuses only serve as a reason for why something did not get done. For this reason nothing gets done from excuses, which makes excuses in there very nature counterproductive; no one is remembered for what he would have accomplished. The sole measure of success is accomplishment. People are remembered accomplishing things in spite of excuses, when they certainly had many they could have used; it is not as if they lacked excuses, but rather choice to forego the use of many plausible excuses. In History it is not important the obstacles that were there as it is the overcoming of the obstacles, for if one had not overcame those obstacles what would we have to remember except for the obstacles and the lack of accomplishment. The thing that really matters in History is that the excuses were overcome, not what the excuses were. Therefore anyone who wants to achieve a worthwhile goal must certainly forego many excuses to achieve it. Once we begin putting away our excuses we have taken the first step; we will have seen our failure and be able to move past using our failures as excuses. We must strive to eliminate excuses from our lives as much as possible. This will also assist to eliminate stress, for we will not be worrying about what excuse to use and therefore will increase our own self respect; we will have moved to a state of accomplishment. Anything else is simply an excuse.

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your mind off the goals”

I heard this on the radio and am not quite sure who said it, but it is so true that when we take our mind off the goals and our unable to see the price at the end and start thinking about all that is going wrong we start to become pessimistic and lose our desire to achieve those goals. So keep focus on your goals.

Today I was walking out of staples in NK through a few bushes in the middle of the parking lot and I hear something making noise. I was slightly alarmed at first I did not know what it was, but low and behold it was a wild turkey, I guess it was a hen. I wasn’t quite sure whether to just be surprised or to try and catching so I could cook up and eat it. Anyhow I ended up just taking some pictures of the turkey.

Well I am venturing out into creating new sites. I have now purchased the domains www.Awana games.net, www.security officer.biz, physical educator.net, and last but not least The Christ.us. These are in my opinion good easy to remember names so they should be very useful in the future, for me.

Today I was observing a special education class and an event happen with one of the children as I was watching which I found particularly disturbing while at the same time a great opportunity to observe first hand some of the things we have been discussing in my class on special education. Is what happened is this boy, who will remain nameless for his safety, started to become increasingly violent. It was a gradual work up and in was not a result of provocation, but seemed to be this child acting out and crying for attention. Now comes the really disturbing part of the story. Is what happened is the child and the teacher were talking, the teacher was in not way was hostile to the child, and simply responded to the child’s outlandish attitude in a calm manner. The child then proceeded to his desk and said he would draw a knife and says something about killing something, I could not quite understand what he said he wanted to kill ( a little while later in the incident it seems to be that it was a dinosaur he was referring to killing, at that point, but there was definitely in his mind some connection with drawing the depictions and the really things), and he also said he would bite the teacher. It was not quite clear to me at that point why he said he would bite the teacher. Then he started to run around the room and punch things and progressively became more and more hostile. He even threatens to kill the teacher, and said he was a tiger, it then became clear to me why he had talked about biting the teacher. Now the teacher was of course good about that and immediately, in a calm manner, told him he was not a tiger, but he just continued to act as though he was a tiger. He started to scratch at things, and eventually ends up scratching himself somehow for whatever reason. I am not really sure why he did that, maybe it was an accident or more likly that there is something inside of him causing him pain, deep down. A little bit after he scratches himself he starts to break down and begins to cry for his mommy and his dad. The teacher than reaffirms him by talking to him about when he will see his parents, but says that he has to be here for a reason (to accomplish his learning task essentially). They then begin to proceed to lunch and the boy is greeted by another teacher who asked him about what happens, and after realizing what he had done tells him in a kind way basically that he needs to use his words and tell what he is feeling, and not hurt himself. I really find this to be very disturbing that this child is acting in this manner he seems to have some deep down emotional issues. If anyone has any insight into what exactly may be driving this child to be so hostile both to himself and others around him I would appreciate your comments.

On the a building at my school there is a quote from Alan Shawn Feinstein

“To better one life is to better the world”

That is excellent quote, so long as we remember that to better one life solely for the purpose of this world may not actually be bettering that life. We must better lives for eternity; not just for a life time. For if we our just helping to better lives for life, then it only results in a lifetime of betterment for the person and not an eternity of betterment. So what is the point really? If that is all that happens it would go like this, you better a person’s life than they better someone else’s life or even a couple of people’s lives, then he dies, then those people better some more people’s lives, then they die, and so on and so forth. Now that is all good and well you would have better the plant, except what happens in the end? Everyone dies right, we all know it will happen eventually the world will come to an end. So then everyone dies, and we have better some lives for what so that they could live better than just die and that is it end of story. So whats the point really, if that is all there is, cause everyone just ends up dead in the end.

Why not, better lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ so they can live better, then live forever. Now that is really bettering lives, and it will have everlasting consequences in the end, and will not just end with everyone dead!
