About Daringness by Theodore Roosevelt

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Attitude by Charles Swindoll

Attitude
by Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Auch wenn unser BVB in dieser Statistik hinter Bayern und Schalke steht, muss ich sagen, dass ich arg zufrieden wäre, wenn die Tabelle nach dem letzten Spieltag ähnlich aussieht!!

Joke - Being Part of the 3G Revolution

You know you have missed the 3G revolution, when:
- you are the object of constant peer pressure by your family and friends to update your mobile phone
- you possess only one (1) telephone
- that annoying blinking sign of an envelope on your mobile phone screen keeps disturbing you, but you don't dare to ask your grandchildren again how to open the text message
- you still have to CALL home to check what to buy at the grocer’s – instead of just being connected to the camera in your fridge
- you find latest news from a newspaper, watch weather forecasts on TV and listen to traffic updates on the radio
- you still leave voice mail instead of hanging up at the announcement and sending a text message instead
- friends dismiss you because you don’t have your terminal switched on 24/7
- you think this list is funny and you want to fax it to your friends..... (wake up friend, nobody uses a fax any more, except lawyers, but as it is -they are "nobody"...)
- you think this list is NOT funny and you want to harass your friends by mailing it to them.... except you don't have any stamps
- you keep having to explain that yes you do have a mobile phone and yes it does function, only that you don't see the need to carry it everywhere

You know you are part of the 3G revolution, when:
- you have walked into a traffic sign while composing a message or playing a game while walking
- When you look back the good old times when a terminal was still called a mobile phone and the only thing you could do with it was to telephone
- your drawers are full of terminals, wires, rechargers, spare batteries, handsfree sets and none are compatible with another
- whenever you see a vending machine you instinctively point your mobile phone at it
- you feel like all of society has forgotten you if you have not received messages from anyone for the last two hours
- the monthly bill to the provider is higher than the rent for you apartment… and you are more than happy to pay it.
- you feel completely lost when you forget your mobile phone, and suicidal when your mobile phone gets stolen
- you develop a tamagochi-like relationship with your terminal and speak of “feeding the baby” when you recharge the battery
- you are so accustomed to taking snapshots of everybody with your camera phone that you have accidentally taken a picture of your own reflection in a mirror
- you believe that there is a secret burial ground for old terminals somewhere in Lapland
- you say to your spouse “honey, they are playing our ringing tone”
