"Once you are inside the bug, you can't see the bug."

I am a computer programmer for many years and I have found this quote makes so much sense and it is humorous, too, at times. This same quote also applies to problems, too.
"A man must look with eyes that see and listen with ears that hear and when you speak, use a true tongue or no one will hear what you have to say!"
Written in 2007 by Michael D. --- New York
The quotes I say and words I write are my own and I got my knowledge when I was down and at my worst. I did burst and found out that I was not alone. RED IN THE HEAD!! This statement is a long-term motivation statement from my head to your ears.
"Man has climbed through all the levels of animalism to achieve this high destiny. But if all the years between life and death are wasted in seeking food, clothing and shelter, comfort and pleasure, then with all apologies man is condemning himself as a fool. Man must achieve PEACE, which is paramount amidst joy and grief, gain and loss and all the dualities that are inevitable. I am with the hope that this PEACE comes to all people with the basic human rights for everyone."

It's good to work, work and work for the betterment of the universe but we must achieve PEACE first and then the rest will follow.

Something I have truly experienced
"Truth never plays false roles of any kind, which is why people are so surprised when meeting it. Everyone must decide whether he wants the uncompromising truth or a counterfeit version of truth. Real wisdom consists of recommending the truth to yourself at every opportunity."
Vernon Howard
"This nation was built by men who took risks; pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, business men who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action."
Brooks Atkinson
"Those who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people."
Napoleon Bonaparte

"In life, don't focus on trying to make the right decision; instead work on making the decision right."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Darren Tapp --- Nevada
And so I write,
An endless diatribe,
Feelings removed,
A human emotion...Lost.
I reach out,
In search for a path,
Markers forgotten,
I've lost my way.... Fear.
Where should I go,
Do I really care,
Will the morning come,
The darkness end... Hope.
All but removed,
Strangely familiar yet unrecognizable,
Today appears as tomorrow,
A new shade... Believe.
The sun shall rise,
A day will dawn,
Tomorrow will be a reflection of today,
The choice is yours.... Begin.

When I take myself very seriously, I think of this saying. Good One:-)
"Life is like a maze...sometimes you're right in the maze, you travel many different routes, find many blocks and turns, and it's harder to see your way out. If you're persistent enough and learn from the blocks, you can find your way out. Other times you're above the maze with pencil in hand...you can clearly see the path and navigate the way through quickly. Whether you're in it or above it...you have to live it, so live well."
