At one point (today) I wanted to give this page a "total make over" as the new pages have a "better look & feel" and then I decided not to do it for this reason:

The very point of this entire exercise, this conversation that I have had for months --actually years, is all about reaching excellence. It's all about starting out with seemingly nothing and then growing it and building upon it and making something of it. AND I am not talking about pennies!

Anyway, this page was a start of an idea. Thus, it does not have to be a pretty paper, nor look perfect or even have the correct spelling. It just has "to be" for my argument is that for most souls walking this earth, "to be" is an eternity and never gets any "start" and then no "real time" to make a difference. Sadly, "to be" is "could have been" or "should have done it" or something...

My argument is that nothing, not time, not circumstance, not position, not education or knowledge is perfect. Everyday, one must learn, and every day "you know" and that just means there's still more that you don't know. I am a "work in progress" and I have to accept that. Thus, this page is set in it's "ugliness" for all to see, which to *me* reflects its true beauty.

I hope your start is just as beautiful, for it is your perseverance, your dogged determination and your daily echo of the words "I will, I can..." that in the toughest of "goings" and progress make each step better than the last.

As you read my words and echo my thoughts, if you think for a moment that this is all about the pennies or the resulting dollars, and nothing more, you've missed the point.

Carpe Diem. W*S.
