The Theory of Intelligence
I've never heard the concept explained any better than this …
'Well you see, Norm, it's like this. .. . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'
For my education www.google.com and www.wikipedia.org do much more than high school and university.
We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement.
Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
The days are always dark enough.
There is no need for us to emphasize the fact by spreading further gloom.
~ George M Adams
To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
~Buddha
The meaning of life, is to live a life of meaning.
Bill Phillips
“No man for any considerable period
can wear one face to himself
and another to the multitude,
without finally getting bewildered
as to which may be the true.”
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help!!
~ Alex Haley
“The pessimist complains about the wind;
the optimist expects it to change;
the realist adjusts the sails.”
~ William Arthur Ward
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
~Winston Churchill
To a pessimist Hope is the denial of reality.
But to an optimist HOPE is the realization of one’s dreams.
~Geroge Brooks
“As you slide down the banister of life,
may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.”
~ Irish Proverb
But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
~William Shakespeare

At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest of my life.
~Jeffrey Archer
Australia and Canada were settled by adventurers, they had to break new ground. I think that is indelibly etched on our cultural spirit.
~Tom Cochrane
Australia is properly speaking an island, but it is so much larger than every other island on the face of the globe, that it is classed as a continent in order to convey to the mind a just idea of its magnitude.

My Country
The love of field and coppice
Of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins.
Strong love of grey-blue distance,
Brown streams and soft, dim skies
I know, but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
The stark white ring-barked forests,
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon,
Green tangle of the brushes
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops,
And ferns the warm dark soil.
Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When, sick at heart, around us
We see the cattle die
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady soaking rain.
Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the rainbow gold,
For flood and fire and famine
She pays us back threefold.
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze ...
An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand
though Earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.

Dorothea Mackeller
God bless America. God save the Queen. God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia.
~Russell Crowe
Every sunset is also a sunrise.
It all depends on where you stand.
~Karl Schmidt
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not,
and often times we call a man cold when he is really only sad.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
~Dalai Lama
“Advertising is the art
of convincing people to spend money
they don’t have
for something they don’t need.”
~ Will Rogers
(1879-1935)
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life.
~Philip Butler
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
