When I was just a boy Dad Larley told me, as he was teaching me the
construction trade, “Buddy, you will prevent a lot of trouble for 
yourself if you measure twice, and cut once. If you measure only once 
you may have to cut twice”. 

I found that to be true in other areas of my life too. I draw the
parallel of that advice, from dad, to “look before you leap” and THINK 
before you SPEAK.	How many times I have wished I had not spoken certain 
words to others. Once things are said, they are like feathers in the 
wind, difficult to retrieve. I TRY to make it a practice to “ listen” 
to what I am going to say in my mind before I put my mouth in gear. 
Very often I make the choice to, either, not say what I was going to 
say or say it in a different way. And, yes, it is true, sometimes it is 
not what I say to others but the way it is said. I guess it is like 
doing a print preview before printing while you still have time to make 
important changes.

“Daily house cleaning”. 

Years ago I read that an old Indian belief says a person is made of four
rooms. They are called Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit, and it does 
one good to visit, straighten up, and clean each room daily. How this 
applies depends on each of us individually, and personally I think. 

Over the years I have come to appreciate the value of education. I wish
I had learned that earlier in my life. Yet, while formal education is 
important, I have yet to hear of a college curriculum that offers 
Wisdom 101, or, Experience 101 for that matter. Education will help us 
prepare for the experiences in life that lead to a certain degree of 
wisdom. Must have a wise person that said, “Experience is the best 
teacher”. 

I tend to agree with that statement.  Knowledge about something does not
necessarily make one an expert on the subject. I can take all the 
lessons available on flying a plane but until I get it off the ground 
and back down safely...I ain't no pilot! Advice about a problem may 
come in many forms, but “wise counsel”, usually, comes from someone who 
has “been there and done that”. 

For the “working class”, which I have been a part of most my life, it is
generally accepted that we do not “make a living”, but learn live on 
what we make. I have often said that is the price we have to pay for 
the privilege of being poor! 

“I cannot think myself into right living, but I can live myself into
right thinking”. 

Sounds confusing? Well at first glance maybe. Let me share a short story
with you. 

A few years ago a young fellow told me he didn't think he was a good
daddy to his son. I asked him what he thought a “good” father was like. 
He said everything his father wasn't. He went on to say a good dad 
spent time with his kids, attended school plays and ball games. Taught 
them things like riding the bike, putting a worm on a hook, going 
fishing, etc. I suggested that he take some time and make a list of 
everything he could think of that would exemplify a good daddy, and 
then just start making an effort to do the things on the list that was 
missing. A few weeks later the man came to see me again. I asked him 
how it was going with his son. He said he had made the list and started 
“making more time to spend with his child”. He got a big smile on his 
face and said, “You know, I am a pretty good daddy after all!” His 
actions changed his thinking. Even though he thought he was not a good 
father, he just started acting like one and after a while he started 
thinking like one.  I guess another way of putting it is “fake it ‘till 
you make it”.

It has been said that the road to contentment and peace of mind starts
with a small PATH. Patience-Acceptance-Tolerance-Honesty.  As I have 
mentioned before, I miss the mark of perfection by a long shot. But, I 
have found if I try to think of the acronym for the above words it 
makes my day go a lot better. This usually works in just about every 
relationship or business dealing we encounter. It is not always easy to 
be patient but it pays- if I strive for improvement in this area. 
Acceptance of the things I cannot change is a bit harder but sometimes 
we just gotta quit butting our heads against the brick wall. If I can 
show others the same tolerance I expect it kind of oils the machinery 
of most relationships. Honesty! Most of us have no problem with the 
honesty of giving back the right change, and all that stuff. It seems 
to be more difficult when we look at the honest exchange of feelings 
and taking responsibility for the times when we were actually wrong in 
a situation. “Staying on the PATH isn't always easy!” 

My father, Daddy Paul, used to say this prayer: “God if you will help me
keep one foot on the path, I will try to take care of the other one.” 
We may never reach perfection, but we can make a daily effort at 
improvement.

It was suggested that I share some philosophical principles and sayings
that I have come to believe as truths. Now, I must add that even though 
I believed in them I have not always adhered to them. You may recall 
that I mentioned before, “It is not what you know... It's what you do 
that counts.” It is for this reason I have named this chapter: 

“For What It's Worth” 

“You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get” 

Over the years I have learned from experiences, both good and bad, that
life is pretty much a balance. I have come to realize that the above 
statement can be applied to all areas of life. (Mentally, physically, 
emotionally, and spiritually). It costs something to commit to a job, 
physical well being, relationships, spirituality, etc. But, we always 
gain something from those commitments. If my choices are not to pay the 
price (commitment) I will get just what I paid for. 

“Relationships” 

The chicken said to the pig, “Let's give the farmer bacon and eggs for
breakfast!” The pig replied, “That is easy for you to say, your effort 
is a contribution, mine is a total commitment!” 

Some say that for a relationship to work over a long period of time it
must be 50% from both partners. Others say it must be 100% each. Now, 
while marriages and unions may be made in heaven, they are endured or 
enjoyed here on earth. I do not know anyone that can commit, or even 
contribute 100% all the time. Maybe it takes a 200% combined effort. 
The times that I am unable, or unwilling to give 100%, maybe just 75%, 
then the partner that is committed will give 125% to make up for my 
meager contribution. When the time comes that neither person is willing 
to try to go the “extra mile” the relationship is in serious trouble. I 
will be honest with you, I have been pretty good at contribution to 
relationships, but as far as commitment I have been pitifully lacking 
on many occasions. 

“Happiness is just a series of happenings” 

I think most of us want happiness for ourselves, our children, and
others. That is a God given instinct. “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit 
of Happiness”.  The Apostle Paul wrote that he LEARNED to be CONTENT in 
whatever state he was in. It is interesting to note that he did not use 
the term “happy” in that statement. I have come to believe there is a 
big difference between the two. 

Someone once said to me, “Kenny. I think you would be happy in any place
you lived”.  I agree that I try to make the best out of most 
situations, but I have, also, made the worst out of many. 

Happiness comes from our attitudes because of the circumstances and
situations that come our way. Contentment comes from our attitude 
despite those circumstances and situations. Could it be that happiness 
is a state of mind, and contentment is the state of one's soul? 
______________________________________________________________________ 

“We only have to look around us to see the negatives in life”. “The
positives have to be searched for” 

In South Africa, they produce beautiful diamonds. It is interesting that
they have to search through, and move, about ten tons of stone to find 
one or two diamonds less than the size of our little fingernail! 

Life gives us a lot of dirt and rocks at time, but I believe that with
all that, there are some “gems” to be gleaned. Yep, takes some digging 
and searching, but the diamonds, (or good things in life) can be found. 
Maybe it is a rainbow in the sunlight after a dark stormy night. Or, 
the Robin just outside the window early in the morning. More important 
it may be looking for a way to help, or comfort, another person that is 
still facing a lot of dirt in life!

Acceptance of the things I cannot change is a bit harder but sometimes 
we just gotta quit butting our heads against the brick wall. If I can 
show others the same tolerance I expect it kind of oils the machinery 
of most relationships. Honesty! Most of us have no problem with the 
honesty of giving back the right change, and all that stuff. It seems 
to be more difficult when we look at the honest exchange of feelings 
and taking responsibility for the times when we were actually wrong in 
a situation. “Staying on the PATH isn't always easy!” 

My father, Daddy Paul, used to say this prayer: “God if you will help me
keep one foot on the path, I will try to take care of the other one.” 
We may never reach perfection, but we can make a daily effort at 
improvement.
