Here are some quotes to help us prepare for the "no grades" transcript. We need to prepare ourselves for change

We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act.  Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.
Maxwell Maltz

There is a connection between creative and the screwball.  So we might choose to suffer the screwball gladly.     Kingman Brewster


Creative thinking may mean that there is no particular virtue in doing things the way they always have been done.   Rudolf Flesch, creator of the Flesch Readability Test 


Every beginning has a consequence.  Every beginning ends something.   Paul ValĂ©ry


Research is about seeing what everybody else has seen and to think what nobody else has thought.   Albert Szent Gyorgyi


Creativeness often means merely turning up what is already there.  Did you know that right and left shoes were thought up only about 200 years ago?
Bernice Fitz-Gibbon
As late as 1850 most shoes were made on absolutely straight lasts, there being no difference between the right and the left shoe. Breaking in a new pair of shoes was not easy. There were but two widths to a size; a basic last was used to produce what was known as a "slim" shoe. When it was necessary to make a "fat" or "stout" shoe the shoemaker placed over the cone of the last a pad of leather to create the additional foot room needed.

Do what is right (quotes) -- thought for today


"The only way you will experience victory is when you do what's right, even when you want to do wrong." 

Another way of putting this idea is:

"The only way you will experience victory is when you do what's right, even when you want to do something else."

The following version is available as a t-shirt

"Just do the obvious thing, even when it is not enjoyable."
For example, put away things in your room that are on the floor.
Wash the dishes.
Clean the cat litter.
Now is the right time.


-- FF, the governor
