To Be Great

To be great is a wonderful thing I'm sure, but how does one achieve it. Is it something that is born in you that you just ride like a wave on the sea, or is it just a destiny that not even those great can explain. Where does this greatness come from. Can we calculate it with mathmatics and scientific principles, or is it something religious that stirs in them. Is it wrong to desire to be great at something? Or should we only strive to be good at it? I think that on the whole we all have qualities that make us great, and first we all have to be lights to ourselves, before others can see our character for what it truly is. My friends, let us not weigh eachother down with lust, jealousy and envy; let us instead be there for one another and share in our common goals to make everyone better, leading to a society that can be great together. Write me and tell me if we can make this happen...

Notes, Notes and more Notes

I find myself taking more and more notes for a few stories that I am working on. Its funny how things in life can inspire you in funny ways. The gleam of a night lamp off a wall. The constant pound of rain tapping the roof. The only problem I seem to have is keeping these notes orginized. With so much going on in life, without some sort of tracking, notes system, I find myself losing more ideas than gaining them. Hopefully I can get this straight before I loose all of my different trains of thought...
