Like all things, it is a work in progress, but I try to humble myself and accept the reality that though I can become something very great, boasting of my accomplishments does nothing but cause me to get buried. The more I boast the deeper the hole. That isn't the only thing that digs a hole of course, but it is the first step to becoming something vile. so yeah... My fuse has greatly lengthened in many ways before I do something foolish. All in all, it takes time, learning to humble ones self, and controlling my ego/pride. Pride is the first step before most evil actions at least that is why I think. That's my thoughts on this. ;) > l. > > _______________________________________________ > arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk > http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook > Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
