THOUGHT(s) FOR THE DAY – Bruce Johnson from Mark Twain: Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear; not absence of fear. Al West from Thomas A. Kida: “Don’t Always Believe What You Think” from his book Don't Believe Everything You Think: The 6 Basic Mistakes We Make in Thinking, but the Thought got to Al through a bumper sticker!
