As one observes the phenomena, interest may be piqued to investigate the declared solution to meet this threat. And, after such effort, one alternative may appear to possess workable substance. Perhaps, it is one oriented in just plain hate or one completely apathetic, satisfied that some vague thing will protect regardless of the situation. The exchange has been progress over this question for a time now and decision is in the making.

Whoever it was that first said, We learn mostly from was our own experiences, of aware many things. truly Sometimes we have to learn the hard way . . . through failure. Other times its more rewarding when we succeed. Whatever the case may be, we still learn and will go on learning as long as we keep on trying. But here we have the crux of the whole matter. We learn more, whether we succeed or not, when we at least go ahead and try. Sometimes were forced to stick out necks out (and maybe others also) if we decide to attempt something that may seem too far out of reach or out of the norm. But as Im sure we have all been learning and maturing here . at school, we have found that general progress and individual success is achieved only through some sort of effort. You dont just stumble on to success. The main purpose of our schooling is to prepare us for adulthood and the responsibilities that go with it. The lessons we learn now will help us avoid possible harder failures later. As long as some lessons are learned, our shortcomings wont nullify our successes. And as long as an effort is made to right some wrong, our failures wont be complete. T. Morris DATELINE March 10 MARDI GRAS! ! !
