Thank you, Ani. One of the few things I can be proud of is that I always give it my best. Win, lose, success or failure, I give thanks to God for the talents and gifts given to me. It's a fine thing to say to your son, it will stay with him as he grows and experiences life. Have a joyful day my friend. Bill

Not everyone agrees with making your best effort, some spend most of their effort trying to figure out ways to cheat the system or finding a way to get out of work. Others just refuse to take personal responsibility for anything they do. Thanks for commenting, Kim. Bill
