By my graduation in 2001, I had learned that it doesn’t take fortune and fame to succeed. It takes being grounded and focused, in a day and age where a quick fix is the more sought-after solution rather than good, old-fashioned hard work.

A quote from a newspaper article on someone speaking about their experiences at a prep school related to the current college admissions scandal. I thought it was worth sharing. I don't have the information to give proper credit but I think the article is in USA Today.

I used to know someone who almost always said things with a negative slant - I used to irritate them by giving it a positive slant
"Oh no, it's going to rain again tomorrow." "But the sun is shining today."
"Oh great. I like that song and now we have to get out of the car." "Oh great. You got to hear part of your favorite song this afternoon."
"I was sick all last week." "But your fine now, isn't that better?"
;)

My neighbors see them as weeds too. I see them as one of the earliest pollen sources for my native bees. We respectfully disagree. ;)
I kill them in yard. Farmers kill them in fields but they are free to grow elsewhere and in some people’s yards. I’m good with that.
