Educated Predictions

 A   L   O   H   A !


There is not the 

slightest indication 

that nuclear energy 

will ever be obtainable.

Albert Einstein, 

winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics, 1932

I have traveled the 

length and breadth 

of this country and 

talked with the 

best people, and 

I can assure you

 that data processing 

is a fad that won’t 

last out the year.

              Prentice Hall 

                                  editor in charge of business books, 1957







But what…is it good for?

Engineer 

at the Advanced Computing Systems 

Division of IBM, referring to

 the microchip, 1968






[Rock ‘n’ roll] 

will be gone by June.

            Variety, 1955






 People like 

Dr. King and others,

they didn't accumulate 

great wealth

but they 

accumulated Greatness.

What matters in the end

is leaving a good name,

not just a bank account. 

           Rev. Al Sharpton

Pixie has a very good name!! Don't know about the size of her bank account, though, she seems to always wear that same fur coat. It's vintage now.

The very best people continue to learn (and grow).
Smiling at Teresa's comment too. The very best thing about Pixie's coat is that it has only one owner.

LOVE Teresa's witty comment - and yours too, E.P!
