What's on your mind? (30)

Here's another Bruce gem fwiw:
Since I'm talking on defeat and sorrow, I might mention the saying which states that, "happiness is good for the body, but sorrow strengthens the spirit" In a time where everything goes well my mind is pampered with enjoyment, possessiveness, etc. Only it times of adversity, privation, or mishap does my mind function and think properly of my state. This close examination of self strengthens my mind and leads me to understand and be understood.

Ok...only a few more Bruce quotes and then I'm done with the Bruce kick I'm on. 
:
I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.
Self conquest is the greatest of victories
What is defeat? Nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.
false teachers of the way use flowery words
Genius
The capacity to express what is simple, simply!
Success is where aimless drifting ceases.
Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through discipline. Faith will accomplish.
Faith is the maintaining of the soul through which one's aims may be translated into their physical equivalent.

Why do people only care about themselves so much?
Humans are truly despicable beings.

Thinking about how I called my work earlier to ask when I start my shift in the morning and even though I was like, "I just want to know when I work so I know how much I can drink tonight..." and the manager was like, "Well you work at noon so don't drink too much, I need you."
I love the Welsh...
Honesty at its finest.

Always even
So I go out to get much needed groceries at the store, leaving aware that some event at the school stadium is going on...but thinking, I still need groceries and I don't think parking will be a problem.
About an hour and a half later, I return. Getting into my lot took longer than expected...and as I was sitting at the intersection, guess whose car passes mine? HIS! (don't judge, it was kind of dark, but I know his plate number, and it was definitely his plate).
And of course, after I went around the wooden barrier to my lot that was erected (my car is small), both lots were a complete zoo!!!! Every darn spot taken; people were parked illegally, too. Currently, I'm parked in a red zone downstairs, so I'm going to have to run down and check on it periodically.....hate game day parking!
