A civilization that forgets what feeds it has mistaken dependence for independence.

"The leap from 'I built a thing' to 'therefore anyone can build a thing' misses the entire point of why you hire knowledgeable, experienced people in the first place."

A little humility leaves us open to learning. Now if only I could be less all-knowing more of the time…

I achieve more when I stop worrying about who gets the credit and focus on helping the team succeed.

A quotation from Herbert Hoover

You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Letter (1928-06-14) to George Moses

Builder

For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)

If I would have my life to live over again,
I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
down stones hidden in the grass.

By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
their dark places in the cracks between the
stones where they sleep.

And when my life came to an end and the wall
was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
would lay myself down against the rocks and
let my body fade away into a place of rest in
the cracks between the stones.

Sportsmen are the most humble bunch. Emphasis on men. 😏

Highway Adoption

The truck ahead of me has a bumper sticker that says “Stay in your lane.”

At first blush – good advice. But further introspection reveals a flaw. In truth, the lane I am currently in is not my own. Nor is the lane you are in yours either. None of us can lay claim to these streets. At least not individually. Contrary to popular belief, we are a collective.

Perhaps a truer bumper sticker is the one that says “Share the road.”

Namely, the entire road is for all. The lane I am in is not MY lane. It is available to anyone else who needs it. You are welcome in the lane I am in, and I hope that I am welcome in the one you are in.

Alas, too often I forget this truth. I am too quick with my tongue or horn and too slow with a kind gesture.

So come on over.

You are welcome here in this lane as well.

No schedule. No perceived deadline for my ETA. No stress or emotional attachment to the human construct of time. No amount of hubris or disdain.

Nothing is worth the destruction of a hospitable spirit while one is driving.

I studied Life at the University of Hardknocks, a liberal arts institution. The early curriculum compromised mainly of courses on humanities, but the upper-level classes focused on #humility, augmented with laboratory sessions concentrating on humiliation.

Boast in the Lord, He approves you. 🙏

We are all Donald Rumsfeld. His infamous remark about "unknown unknowns" contains lessons about hubris and humility.

In Malaysia, autism is recognised as a developmental disability, entitling individuals to protection and benefits. However, autism is best understood as neurodiversity—an alternative brain wiring, not a flaw. Viewing autism through an ego-centric lens—either as a burden or a superpower—centres on ourselves. With humility and honesty, we see autism as a different, valid way of being human, not broken.

"Disclosure Day uses all of Spielberg’s powers to build to a final, calming moment of #peace... #Human #beings have retained their #humanity; it just needs to be drawn out. And when faced with a #higher #intelligence, #humility will win the day. One wonders if the 79-year-old legend has taken a real look at the world around him, as it’s nearly impossible to agree with this #wishful #thinking. Still, I want to #believe." #Fantasy triumphs over #reality.

I have advice for people: no matter how successful you are in Rock 'n' Roll music and the Hall of Fame, remember that blues scales originated from hardship. Remember where we came from. Live humbly.
