TBD on Ning

This came through a wise and wonderful Friend, I like it! I think it tells the story of human kind. Surely it sifts out the important from the mundane, the useful from the "not so much"...However it is not for those who consider themselves "normal", "sane" or "regular" No this is only for the Forthright, The Unique, Kind, Intelligent and "Crazy" People...Blessings!

Words and acts of wisdom Rishi, I think you got it! Thank You for that!

"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly
so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
~ Theodore Roosevelt

I don't think that this Native American was crazy, but, he sure was a genius:

Sequoyah
A Cherokee genius named Sequoyah created the Cherokee alphabet so that Cherokees could learn to read and write their own language as the Europeans did. When he began working on his talking leaves many Cherokees thought he had gone crazy and accused him of witchcraft. After recognizing the value of his work, the Cherokee Nation rapidly began to use his syllabary and officially adopted it in 1825. The literacy rate of Cherokees quickly surpassed that of surrounding European-American settlers. Within 3 years the Cherokee Nation began publishing the Cherokee Phoenix Newspaper which is still published today HYPERLINK "http://www.cherokeephoenix.org/". Sequoyah remains the only person in history to create a workable alphabet on his own.
