The only dumb question is the one you fail to ask, this is an old line my college professors would use in class. We expect to be punished if we do not answer the question correctly and this is the problem most of us face in here. We are not being asked trick questions, Bob I think is trying to open our minds up to objective and clear thinking. I once commented to Bob, I think I see the light but I can't seem to bring it all together, well maybe I am afraid because the master might scold me for giving the wrong answer. What I will do is speak from the heart and put it forth as I see it in relation to what I have learned in here, it's the best I can do.

Thank you for the compliment. I do appreciate it. Shari

ME:

Shari, when I give a compliment I mean it. If do not weigh them first like a good PR man.

But it is good to value my compliments, because when you do say something I think is wrong I will criticize WHAT YOU SAY with the same mentality.

The main reason you put something HERE is to get MY judgment on it. What you get is MY judgment, and mark this carefully, on *** IT ***. As Alan says, I am not here to judge YOU. The less of that judgment on the crapola section of what you SAY that you consider a judgment on YOU, the more you will get out of this.

I am NOT saying your mother is ugly.

The fact is that learning the lessons I have to teach is extremely hard concentration on its own. We DO NOT need this distraction.

Now, face this fact:

MANY TIMEWS WHEN I SEE WHAT I SEE AS AN ERROR IT WILL REMIND ME OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PISSED ME OFF ALL MY LIFE.

You had BETTER see the chance of direction when I start ruminating on how what I don't like about your comment REMINDS me of an error fostered by the enemy. If you DON'T, then you are going to assume I am regarding YOU as the enemy. This goes right back to what Alan said, you have been trained to the idea that, if you have any idea that is not Politically Correct, your teacher will treat YOU as an enemy.

A lifetime's training is not easy to get over, so Alan's point is CRUCIAL here: YOU ARE NOT IN MOMMY PROFESSOR'S WORLD HERE.

Bob's Blog is for adults.

And there are precious few of us left.

Sometimes it rubs me the wrong way when Bob fires a comment my way that points out the truth, like I failed to carefully read his coaching session comment and missed the whole point. He was right I did breeze through it and he slammed me on it, you can't argue with the truth. Let the PC whiners take offense, here we learn in the world of hard knocks.

I have never once put something here for your judgment. I learned many years ago never to write what the audience wants to hear. That is not sincere writing/communication. That is looking for someone's approval. I never do that. Never. That cheats the listener. If and when I write something in this blog it is for the purpose of improving the blog. I am not Whitaker's enemy and I have never been Whitaker's enemy. I will not flip. I am the same today, yesterday and forever. Just like Jesus.

Well, I have my weaknesses, but I can honestly say that I want and look for the truth. That's the most important thing. Not "THE TRUTH" shouted and advertised and preached, but rather the truth. We are literally dying from the lack of it and it's so hard on everybody. Shari
