They said it was a mystery until someone acquired the necessary knowledge and experience to make it an open book. They said it was impossible until someone defied the odds and did it. Our world is filled with many imitators and few initiators because we listen more to others than to the gentle inner voice urging us to believe the impossible and do the unthinkable. Ultimately, breaking the glass ceiling is about who you are listening to.

Isn't it ironic that we often condemn in others what we hate in ourselves? We project our shortcomings on others and confront them in their lives, not in ours. We excuse our weaknesses, but sharply oppose the same weaknesses in others. We discharge and acquit our misdemeanors but hold others accountable for theirs. In what is an obvious injustice, we consider the log in our eyes too small to be seen but the speck in others' eyes too big to be ignored.

I am wiser by the day. Each day comes with its distinctive trials and triumphs. Each day offers a full session of learning. so much that there is no room for electives. No room for carrying over of yesterday's courses. No room for covering tomorrow's courses today. Today is all I have, and it’s all I will work with. So, "tomorrow" should wait for its turn when it becomes "today" to get my attention.
