| Mr. Jay Chadwick Jay's Philosophy on Life If I must name one principle, idea or ideal toward which I have strived, it is the tenets of Christianity, The original manifestation of Chirsitianity totally convinced eleven of the twelve who had the most intimate contact with it. Current indifference cannot tarnish its essential truths almost twenty cenutires later. I only queston the concept of heaven. How could it exceed the variety, the beauty and the wonders of earth? So in you journey through life, take time to smell the roses, to savor the sunsets along the way. Make sure you leave the earth at least as pleasant a place as you found it. Don't just pick up you own litter, pick up someone else's as well. Enhancement of the environment is worthalmost any effort, any sacrifice. When you accept responsibility, give it your very best effort. don't seek after honors. Let honors find you if they will. Shun pretense and pompousness. Don't take yourself too seriously. Stand back and smile -even laugh- at yourself once in a while. Life is a great sport. Savor it! |
