A Time for EVERY purpose

I have to tell the kids at school all the time...This is not the Time for socializing and talking...And it is true that most of them know what they should be doing...So it really is not a question of Knowing. They choose socialization which is not a bad thing in itself...but it is a matter of not understanding Time and Place... And unfortunately most classroom seating placements encourages socialization over individual focus. Unfortunately this favors the strong willed and leaves the “easily distracted” student vulnerable to distraction. Focus is nothing more than self discipline. You make it harder on yourself by where you choose to practice it and when...Yes, Yes, Yes.. It has a proper Time and Place...By not finding that Time and Place you become your own worst enemy...A Time for Every Purpose.

SAD COOKIE

JEALOUSY = Admiration gone sour. The grass is always greener on the other side.
Results primarily from always looking outward...Seeking an outside object or person to blame.
An inability to look  inward. An inability to face and resolve problems within “the self”.
It is as if you were just learning how to cook...YOU choose to make cookies...YOU choose to add THIS ingredient and not THAT... YOU are going to make mistakes. It’s going to taste bad...That is how it is supposed to be...There is no lowering of the bar for YOU. The lowering of the bar would hurt you. Grants you that which YOU do not deserve. It grants you a deeper fall the next time making it ever more difficult to get up and try again. It makes YOU your own worst enemy. You must learn to eat your own cookies and learn from them. That’s life.  

Proverbs

A Proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

Many have forgotten the value of the “Proverb” What was it’s purpose? What was the reason for their existence? The older generations can remember quite a few of these- [ A stitch in _____, The early bird gets the______.”] But the “now generation” have very little knowledge of these...Less and less each day... Unfortunately they reek of being “ archaic” and of course the younger generations always see “their road” as new and different. And yes, we were all once there.

In the definition it is “a simple and concrete saying...” I take this to mean ”that given knowledge or a way of thinking which was boiled down for daily use... Condensed common knowledge which when ad-heard to and follow would delivered success. Like a “Golden Thought Key” -when inserted in the proper place opened the door of success. In the future I am going to attempt here to exstreapulate the hidden gold buried within some of these sayings...And maybe a new appreciation of their value. “Only Time Well Tell” ...right!
