perSPECKtives is the author's unique, open-minded, humorous, silly way of looking at life. There may not be a specific right way or wrong way to look at life, just a different way, which the author does through his quotes, sayings, puns, questions, and ideas. People can look at the same thing, yet each person can see or describe it differently. Listen between the words. A kind word is a verbal pat on the back. Reading and Thoughts: feeding your mind. Don't try to build yourself up by putting others down. If you want average results, be an average person. If you want exceptional rights, be an exceptional person. Be friendly to everyone. The next person you meet may be a future friend.
