We would all love to be the best at what we do, but sometimes we fall short. But our attitudes do not have to fall short.

Forget the rule book!


To be the best,
or
think you'er the best?
There is a difference in being,
and not being,
but
when you want to feel good,
when you want to stroke your attitude,
operate in a strong positive mode,
think you're the best,
forget the negative rest.


Oh,
you may have to put up,
or shut up,
prove you know your stuff,
and,
you may mess up,
fail to measure up,
But,
nothing in the rule book says,
that you have to be the best,
to think you're the best.


It's all in attitude,
keeping strong positive fortitude,
controlling personal latitude.


Think you're the best,
forget the rest,
and
whoever don't like it,
tell them to hike it.


G

So true. You have the right attitude, Grady. All we can do is our best. Besides, who can really measure talent. It's all subjective.

Lots of wisdom here, my friend.
I'm going to go back and catch up

out of AD for awhile. I missed your
positive writes! Missed you , my friend
