As humans, we are capable of so much.

The list is so long. We can:

Climb mountains.

Measure brain waves.

Become amazing track and field stars.

Doctors who specialize in medicine, surgery, mental illness.

Join Peace Corps.

Design clothes(make clothes).

Study.

Love.

Encourage others.

and so much more.

“The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.”
~Confucius, Chinese politician and philosopher, 551–479 B.C.

There are those of us who still get frustrated when things do not go our way. For example, I’ve never gotten a promotion on any job. I’ve gotten a raise, but no one thought to move me up the ladder. I even asked to be moved up.

They(management), offered me a grungy, “low” position, to which I said “Absolutely not.”
