[Entropy Squared]

You told my exact story, Stick a Fork in Me - I am Done. Right down to the detail of age 15. It's tough to get off the street but it can be done. Now I too have a home and a wonderful family and I am extremely grateful for what I have.

I heard a saying once I really enjoy, "Judge a man not by the heights he has achieved but by the depths from which he has climbed."

Cheers.

Where did you get that great quote?

[Stick a Fork in Me - I am Done]

The quote on your homepage is terrific. There is something different about the people who have changed their lives to survive and thrive. Nothing earthshaking, but there is a gift there. We are very fortunate.

I got all Fs a few years in grammer school and it had nothing to do with my abilities. The gift of it is that to me failing is not such a big deal. I can live with it. I think that young people should not have their lives set up as one success after another...becasue then they don't know how to emtionally cope with failure when it arrives, which it will.
