I meet Fred at the Triangle shows about four years ago, he's one of the reasons I keep going back. On that first meeting he told me one of the funniest jokes I have ever heard...and no I can not repeat it..lol...Each time we talk live or on-line he either tells me another joke of shares a little about his life. Last Friday night in Chicago Fred told me something that I have been thinking about over and over all week long. Since this was a private conversation I asked if I could share it here. I already discussed it with my fourth graders...and they, believe it or not, understood Fred's point and we had a very good discussion!...Fred told me that no matter what endeavor in life you get involved in ,you must consider the possibility that you could be 100% wrong in your position or point of view, and if you can't consider this possibility you're not worth anything to anybody...Fred gave me that Fred smile of his cuz he read my face as I paused to think that one over...I told him that he was absolutely correct...God knows I am extremely opinionated...and far too many times my Ego tricks me into thinking I'm always right ( except in school because I leave my ego at home)...so because of these great words of wisdom...I now shall refer to Mr Miglore as Dr. Migliore....driving to Santa Maria this afternoon with Basu...listening to Basu for three hours is almost worse that riding in a school bus with 80 second graders..lol..."Jocko's" look out, cuz here we come.....FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
