a thought for a day

I was reading about the Kennedy's and how they basically spent their lives trying make their dad happy and they danced to his tune to fulfill his ambitions. For me, personally, there is only one path in life--YOUR OWN. A ready- made bed makes for restless sleep. Even as a child I felt this way. If you read any of the great thinkers, the emphasize is on staking your own claim, making your own path. Great trees dont grow in great shadows. You get one life and then you are dead and if your path doesnt make others 100% happy then that is an unfortunate thing. Be true to yourself and failure is only a state of mind.
