Doubt Your Doubt

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Doubt your doubts before 

you doubt yourself.

        Lewis Pugh








A person who 

has good thoughts 

cannot ever be ugly. 

You can have a wonky nose 

and a crooked mouth and a

double chin and stick-out teeth,

but if you have good thoughts 

they will shine out of your face 

like sunbeams and you 

will always look lovely.

Roald Dahl

 









If you want to 

see the sunshine, 

you have to 

weather the storm.

Frank Lane











You can't have a wrong 

mentality about life and 

expect that you will see 

the bright side of life.

         Bamigboye Olurotimi








 When words are 

both true 

and kind, 

they can change 

the world.

Buddha

 A   L   O   H   A  !

The things that go 

wrong for you 

have a lot of 

potential to become 

your gift to the world.

Krista Tippet













At times the world 

may seem an unfriendly 

and sinister place, but 

believe that there is 

much more good in it 

than bad. 













All you have to do 

is look hard enough. 













And what might seem 

to be a series of 

unfortunate events 

may in fact be the

first steps of a journey. 

      Lemony Snicket



































At the end of the day, 

remind yourself that 

you did the best 

you could today, and 

that is good enough.

Lori Deschene

Greetings From Oahu

 A   L   O   H   A  !

 

“Nights and days 

came and passed 

And summer and winter

and the rain.

And it was good to 

be a little Island.

A part of the world

and a world of its own

All surrounded by 

the bright blue sea.

                    Margaret Wise Brown





 The Security fence

is reversible,

Human lives

are irreversible.

     Silvan Shalom






There is more to knowing 

than just being correct.

Taoist Proverb







One joy 

scatters a 

hundred griefs.

         Chinese proverb



𐎊

Oahu, Which is Honolulu County
is going back into lockdown
at midnight. After months
of very low infections,
our numbers started
to climb. Obviously,
people everywhere
are coping with this
situation that none of us
have experienced before.

So be easy with yourself.
General Amnesty
for all forms of
self-undermining.

You are doing
G R E A T!

Have a treat.
Yes. It is fully human
to care.

But also to
endure, survive,
and even have fun
along the way.
Celebrate even a 
single joy.

I won't tell!

Love You,

Educated Predictions

 A   L   O   H   A !

I can assure you

is a fad that won’t 

last out the year.

              Prentice Hall 

                                  editor in charge of business books, 1957

not just a bank account.

Fools Never Do

 A   L   O   H   A !

Although our intellect 

always longs for 

clarity and certainty, 

our nature often 

finds uncertainty 

fascinating.

      Carl von Clausewitz






If ignorance is bliss, 

why aren't more 

people happy?

    English Proverb

See the California Golden Bear?
Let's hold a good  thought for all

"Whoever drinks beer, 

he is quick to sleep; 

whoever sleeps long, 

does not sin; 

whoever does not sin, 

enters Heaven! Thus, 

let us drink beer!”

When a stranger 

is being a jerk,

You are 

for that moment 

their teacher. 

Don't take it personal. 

Laugh about it in 

the faculty lounge later.






A wise one changes 

their mind, a 

fool never will.

Combat Of Fools

 A   L   O   H   A !

Too many people

merely shop

the truths and 

opinions of others,

never troubling to look

deeply enough

to form their own.





Such folks

consider conversation

a competition.

Cheering on their 

ready-made

allegiances, sadly failing

to find the thrill of

discovering fuller truth

by really listening 

to one another.






Collaboration is

the opposite

of capitulation.






Only the self-confident

can play in the fields

of ideas, growing

wisdom all the while.


Anyway, 

that's what Pixie

tells me

this morning!




LOVE YOU!
