I Got 25 Words To Go Now

Was never quite able to do the 25 Random Facts about me that Facebookers often ask for, but I came up with 25 Words I Like:

1. Care. About Family, Friends, and strangers, even when they don’t care about you. Sometimes, it’s a one way street and that’s ok.
2. Employ. Each of your senses and enjoy them. Compose your own soundtrack.
3. Recognize. The difference between Belief and Knowledge. They each have a place, but don’t confuse them.
4. Choice. It’s everything. Choose to feel good about yourself. Choose how you react to things. Choose to achieve and be proud of your accomplishments.
5. Greatness. You’ve got it. You just have to find it and unbridle your enthusiasm.
6. Question. The logic whenever possible. Mr. Spock was just as important as Dr. Spock.
7. Understand. The culture we live in is just one of many worldwide. Respect them all. - that could be you.
8. Think. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Use your brain. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. Don’t be a robot. Don’t just drink someone’s kool-aid.
9. Resist. A mind is a terrible thing to baste. Watch the chemicals. Dare to feel great unenhanced, uninfluenced, and unencumbered.
10. Education. It’s usually the answer, no matter what the problem.
11. Maturity. Birthdays are an unfortunate requirement of gaining perspective.
12. Reward. Pay is unfortunately often in inverse proportion to contribution to society. The reward is in the doing.
13. Strive. Never settle for less than you deserve, in anything.
14. Legacy. You probably will be remembered mostly for your passion, much less for your clothes, hair, and looks.
15. Memory. Unpredictable -There really is no accounting for what people, especially kids, remember.
16. Absorb. Don’t be afraid to do nothing but take it all in
17. Give. Don’t let your gift giving be dictated by just holidays and invitations.
18. Receive. Don’t be afraid to appreciate without reciprocating.
19. Control. Your activity and your attitude. It’s about all we can control. Don’t worry about what you can’t control.
20. Celebrate. Whatever and whenever you fell like it. Cut loose.
21. Unanimity. When everyone is absolutely sure – Beware, danger ahead. Stand as a contrarian to rile the passion and stimulate discussion.
22. Enjoy. Do what you enjoy even if everyone thinks you’re crazy.
23. Vision. See the USA, see the world, see the wonder, see the future.
24. Energy. Diminishes with age and is most wasted on prejudice, anger, and hatred.
25. Share. If at all possible, share your life with the love of your life – that’s the ultimate.
