“But because we grew up surrounded by big dramatic story arcs in books and movies, we think our lives are supposed to be filled with huge ups and downs! So people pretend there is drama where there is none.”

We're trying to make our life into a fairy tale.

I have often wondered about these drama people? I have always hated Drama.

man:"art is stupid and pointless what good does it do anyways?"
woman: "really so every form of art is stupid an pointless to you even the form of art that constructed the building you sit in at this very moment?"
man: ((blankly stares at the woman))
woman:"architectural work is considered a form of art"
man:"no its not, your a lieing spitful bitch"
woman:" i have three things to say to you and you had better listen up, nuber one profanity broves stupidity and arogance only displays ignorance, number two, yeah ok i know i radiate bitch but guess what thats still better than what you've got to give cause at least i can get somwhere with it. number three do yourself a favor and find yourself a hobby that doesnt envolve making a fool of yourself."

If I delay, success will become betrothed to another and lost to me forever.
If I have no other qualities I can succeed with love alone. 
If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will
succeed. 
If I stumble I will rise, and my falls will not concern me. 
If you bring joy, enthusiasm, brightness, and laughter to your customers,
they will react with joy, enthusiasm, brightness, and laughter and your
weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary of gold for you. 
If you feel depressed - sing! 
If you feel fear, plunge ahead. 
If you feel incompetent, remember past successes. 
If you feel insignificant, remember your goals. 
If you feel poverty, think of wealth to come. 
If you feel sad - laugh. 
If you must be a slave to habit, then be a slave to good habits. 
If you persist long enough, you will win. 
If you waste today, you destroy the last page of your life. 
Ignore the obstacles at your feet and keep your eyes on the goals above your
head.

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...

"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
