Something to think about.....
“Ordinary people think that Talent must be always on its own level and that it arises every morning like the sun, rested and refreshed, ready to draw from the same storehouse - always open, always full, always abundant ....such people are unaware that, as in the case of all mortal things, Talent has its increase and decrease, and that independently of the career it takes, like everything that breathes... it undergoes all the accidents of health, of sickness, and of the dispositions of the soul , its gaiety or its sadness. As with our perishable flesh, Talent is obliged constantly to keep guard over itself, to combat, and to keep perpetually on the alert amid the obstacles that witness the exercise of its singular power.”
Eugene Delacroix

A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you all the same.

When wearing a silly-hat all your troubles seem so far away! :mryellow:

Any hat I wear makes me look silly, even if I don't feel it... ..
the harder I try, the more silly I look... at least it keeps other people amused...

A silly-hat is invisible, so you can wear it without looking silly!

.... .....

Sometimes, I am a little bit too serious for my own good, I think...... time to find my silly hat then......
