these are demanding times.  these are inspirational times.

someone recently handed me a card at a party.  but rather than the usual jargon, it simply read this:  a study conducted in 100 countries found that regardless of race, age, gender, or status, people who set definable, measurable goals with a timeline, and a deadline are 10 times more likely to achieve them.

and so i draw upon my friend’s talents and generosity to get me through.
