Book learning worth learning.........

The postman brought me my very own copy of Nicholas Bate's
Be Bold 101.    A small sample for your enjoyment:

41.  get exercise in a society which takes exercise away;
42.  find facts in a society which drowns in opinions;
43.  take ownership in a culture which generates excuses;
44.  take time for civilization in a civilization which has no time
       to be curious;
45.  wander barefoot on the beach;

Thanks Nicholas
