1.

The boy walked down the street in a carefree way, playing


without notice of what was about him. He didn't hear the sound
of the car as his ball careened into the road. He took a step
toward it, and in doing so sealed his fate.

2. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make


money (beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education
system. The truth is there are a lot of different, legitimate ways
to make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and that you
won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if
you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck
in an office from 9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.

3. He read about a hike called the incline in the guidebook. It said it


was a strenuous hike and to bring plenty of water. “A beautiful
hike to the clouds” described one review. “Not for the faint-
hearted,” said another. “Not too bad of a workout”, bragged a
third review. I thought I’d hike it when I fly in from Maryland
on my day off from the senior citizen's wellness conference. I
hiked 2 miles a day around the neighborhood so I could handle a
1.1-mile hike. What a foolish mistake that was for a 70-year-old
low-lander.

4. There was a time when he would have embraced the change that
was coming. In his youth, he sought adventure and the unknown,
but that had been years ago. He wished he could go back and
learn to find the excitement that came with change but it was
useless. That curiosity had long left him to where he had come to
loathe anything that put him out of his comfort zone.

5. He was aware there were numerous wonders of this world


including the unexplained creations of humankind that showed
the wonder of our ingenuity. There are huge heads on Easter
Island. There are the Egyptian pyramids. There’s Stonehenge.
But he now stood in front of a newly discovered monument that
simply didn't make any sense and he wondered how he was ever
going to be able to explain it.

6. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this
was a metaphor of some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely
literal. He had hopes of reaching the Major League and that
dream was now it great jeopardy. All because he had dropped
the ball.

7. It was the best compliment that he'd ever received although the
person who gave it likely never knew. It had been an off-hand
observation on his ability to hold a conversation and actually add
pertinent information to it on practically any topic. Although he
hadn't consciously strived to be able to do so, he'd started to
voraciously read the news when he couldn't keep up on topics
his friends discussed because their conversations went above his
head. The fact that someone had noticed enough to compliment
him that he could talk intelligently about many topics meant that
he had succeeded in his quest to be better informed.

8. I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a


grove of tall walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had
wandered into it at noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet,
and was startled by the roar of my own gun, as it broke the
Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and reverberated by
the angry echoes.

9. It wasn't quite yet time to panic. There was still time to salvage
the situation. At least that is what she was telling himself. The
reality was that it was time to panic and there wasn't time to
salvage the situation, but he continued to delude himself into
believing there was.

10. I inadvertently went to See's Candy last week (I was in the mall
looking for phone repair), and as it turns out, See's Candy now
charges a dollar -- a full dollar -- for even the simplest of their
wee confection offerings. I bought two chocolate lollipops and
two chocolate-caramel-almond things. The total cost was four-
something. I mean, the candies were tasty and all, but let's be
real: A Snickers bar is fifty cents. After this dollar-per-candy
revelation, I may not find myself wandering dreamily back into a
See's Candy any time soon.

person who gave it likely never knew. It had been an off-hand
observation on his ability to hold a conversation and actually add
pertinent information to it on practically any topic. Although he
hadn't consciously strived to be able to do so, he'd started to
voraciously read the news when he couldn't keep up on topics
his friends discussed because their conversations went above his
head. The fact that someone had noticed enough to compliment
him that he could talk intelligently about many topics meant that
he had succeeded in his quest to be better informed.

78.I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a


grove of tall walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had
wandered into it at noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet,
and was startled by the roar of my own gun, as it broke the
Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and reverberated by
the angry echoes.

79. It wasn't quite yet time to panic. There was still time to salvage
the situation. At least that is what she was telling himself. The
reality was that it was time to panic and there wasn't time to
salvage the situation, but he continued to delude himself into
believing there was.

80. I inadvertently went to See's Candy last week (I was in the mall
looking for phone repair), and as it turns out, See's Candy now
charges a dollar -- a full dollar -- for even the simplest of their
wee confection offerings. I bought two chocolate lollipops and
two chocolate-caramel-almond things. The total cost was four-
something. I mean, the candies were tasty and all, but let's be
real: A Snickers bar is fifty cents. After this dollar-per-candy
revelation, I may not find myself wandering dreamily back into a
See's Candy any time soon.

1. vTheboy walked down the street in a carefree way, playing


without notice of what was about him. He didn't hear the sound
of the car as his ball careened into the road. He took a step
toward it, and in doing so sealed his fate.

2. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make


money (beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education
system. The truth is there are a lot of different, legitimate ways
to make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and that you
won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if
you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck
in an office from 9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.

3. He read about a hike called the incline in the guidebook. It said it


was a strenuous hike and to bring plenty of water. “A beautiful
hike to the clouds” described one review. “Not for the faint-
hearted,” said another. “Not too bad of a workout”, bragged a
third review. I thought I’d hike it when I fly in from Maryland
on my day off from the senior citizen's wellness conference. I
hiked 2 miles a day around the neighborhood so I could handle a
1.1-mile hike. What a foolish mistake that was for a 70-year-old
low-lander.

4. There was a time when he would have embraced the change that
was coming. In his youth, he sought adventure and the unknown,
but that had been years ago. He wished he could go back and
learn to find the excitement that came with change but it was
useless. That curiosity had long left him to where he had come to
loathe anything that put him out of his comfort zone.

5. He was aware there were numerous wonders of this world


including the unexplained creations of humankind that showed
the wonder of our ingenuity. There are huge heads on Easter
Island. There are the Egyptian pyramids. There’s Stonehenge.
But he now stood in front of a newly discovered monument that
simply didn't make any sense and he wondered how he was ever
going to be able to explain it.

6. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this
was a metaphor of some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely
literal. He had hopes of reaching the Major League and that
dream was now it great jeopardy. All because he had dropped
the ball.

3. He read about a hike called the incline in the guidebook. It said it


was a strenuous hike and to bring plenty of water. “A beautiful
hike to the clouds” described one review. “Not for the faint-
hearted,” said another. “Not too bad of a workout”, bragged a
third review. I thought I’d hike it when I fly in from Maryland
on my day off from the senior citizen's wellness conference. I
hiked 2 miles a day around the neighborhood so I could handle a
1.1-mile hike. What a foolish mistake that was for a 70-year-old
low-lander.

4. There was a time when he would have embraced the change that
was coming. In his youth, he sought adventure and the unknown,
but that had been years ago. He wished he could go back and
learn to find the excitement that came with change but it was
useless. That curiosity had long left him to where he had come to
loathe anything that put him out of his comfort zone.

5. He was aware there were numerous wonders of this world


including the unexplained creations of humankind that showed
the wonder of our ingenuity. There are huge heads on Easter
Island. There are the Egyptian pyramids. There’s Stonehenge.
But he now stood in front of a newly discovered monument that
simply didn't make any sense and he wondered how he was ever
going to be able to explain it.

6. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this
was a metaphor of some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely
literal. He had hopes of reaching the Major League and that
dream was now it great jeopardy. All because he had dropped
the ball.

7. It was the best compliment that he'd ever received although the
person who gave it likely never knew. It had been an off-hand
observation on his ability to hold a conversation and actually add
pertinent information to it on practically any topic. Although he
hadn't consciously strived to be able to do so, he'd started to
voraciously read the news when he couldn't keep up on topics
his friends discussed because their conversations went above his
head. The fact that someone had noticed enough to compliment
him that he could talk intelligently about many topics meant that
he had succeeded in his quest to be better informed.

8. I recollect that my first exploit in squirrel-shooting was in a


grove of tall walnut-trees that shades one side of the valley. I had
wandered into it at noontime, when all nature is peculiarly quiet,
and was startled by the roar of my own gun, as it broke the
Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and reverberated by
the angry echoes.

9. It wasn't quite yet time to panic. There was still time to salvage
the situation. At least that is what she was telling himself. The
reality was that it was time to panic and there wasn't time to
salvage the situation, but he continued to delude himself into
believing there was.

10. I inadvertently went to See's Candy last week (I was in the mall
looking for phone repair), and as it turns out, See's Candy now
charges a dollar -- a full dollar -- for even the simplest of their
wee confection offerings. I bought two chocolate lollipops and
two chocolate-caramel-almond things. The total cost was four-
something. I mean, the candies were tasty and all, but let's be
real: A Snickers bar is fifty cents. After this dollar-per-candy
revelation, I may not find myself wandering dreamily back into a
See's Candy any time soon.

12. It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make
money (beyond getting a 9 to 5 job) as part of our education
system. The truth is there are a lot of different, legitimate ways
to make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and that you
won't have to work hard to succeed, but it does mean that if
you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck
in an office from 9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.
