It has been said of Rafael Nadal that he is the best person in the game calm a perhaps even in sports, to forget the last point and move on to the next one. It is one of the features of this legendary tennis player that many feel set some apart from the rest, and which many feel is largely responsible for his success.

For all of us, there is a great lesson in life. We too must become great forgetters – when it comes to the last person, the last situation, the last experience…

I heard something many years ago, “If you have to resort to violence you’ve already lost.”

People with big balls and no brains often think they’re the cock of the walk. People with big muscles and even bigger attitudes often think there it! The late Rudy Tomjanovic had a saying, “Never underestimate the heart of aI Champion”. Well I say, “The man (or woman) with a bigger ❤ is Champion”. The man or woman with a bigger ❤ for God, and for his or her fellow human being!

Do you know what a professional job-getter is? Just ask Errol Flynn. It’s a person who is expert in getting a job even though they have no idea about the job.I think there are a lot of people out there in the world like that-many of them making tons of money!

You know, we’ve had 200 plus yeairs in this country for politicians to learn how to work together – dual party system be damned. So tell me, what’s wrong with this picture? It’s quite simple, when we’re not busy serving ourselves, we’re busy serving this part of the country or that – rather than serving the country as a whole – the whole country!

If you happen to be the owner of a business or company – the less time you spend there, The less that business or company will begin to resemble your original idea or vision.

I remember my grandmother telling me the United States was number one in education in the world. So what happened? Will I have a theory – Human beings have always been highly competitive in nature. So a system that is helping all of its citizens, helping the underprivileged, goes against this principle. And it also works against a system based upon a hierarchy. It goes against a system littered with doctors and lawyers his lawyers and rocket scientists fuck it scientists as well as fast food restaurants, the need for janitors, the need for gardeners, the need for plumbers… If everyone in the country is going for a Doctorate degree…

The views expressed in Alcoholics Anonymous do not necessarily represent those of the management. The same can be said of organized religions all around the world. The attitudes and views of people associated with various organizations are not necessarily an accurate reflection or portrayal of the organizations themselves heretofore.* We would all do well to keep this fact in mind!

*Many a person has walked out of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or (church) sermon because of the individuals in them.

Some people have the gift of seemingly being able to pull a plan or a scheme or a scam out of thin air and making it apply to a real world situation – or making it, in the rarified air mind of people somehow resonate, gel… I’m speaking of things perhaps intangible, that are floating around in the air above us, and like Michael Angelo’s David they chip away at what’s unnecessary -around these concepts, these ideas, these plans… I’m talking about constructing an idea, or a concept, (seemingly) from nothing that actually works, that has weight, that has validity or merit!

“There’s a difference between having problems and being the problem!” When I first came into Al

Every body makes mistakes – but not everyone is willing to do something about them. Another way of looking at it – there are two kinds of people in the world – those who have issues, and those who have issues and are willing to do something about them.

As a woman, would you be more inclined to pick a man a pretends to be perfect, later you find out he isn’t, and doesn’t feel he has any significant issues to work on or change… or, a man who is clearly with faults, but is both willing to admit them and “work towards their correction (Bill W.)?

The more complicated my life, the more opportunities for my alcoholism/addiction to run wild. Whether drinking and drugging, or stone cold sober!

For many years I sluffed-off the notion of simplicity in Alcoholics Anonymous. In recent years I’m only now beginning to see to see the sanity of this of this invaluable “Pearl-of-Wisdom”.
