Tell of a time when you had your mind made up on something important and later changed your view?

That I would never get a cell phone. I lived in Japan at the time and had to walk to a phone booth to contact relatives or use a friends cell phone. So I gave in and purchased one myself.

I have always wanted to own a business but I never struck with long enough to see it through. I know this is God's plan for me; so this time I won't give up.

I never thought I would be some hermit and here I am spending a lot of time, alone, with my kids or...with myself!

I moved to another part of the world and here I met people that were not really good, so I honor a say we have in France:: you'd better be alone than have bad company.

I miss having my friends around and sharing so much though I do prefer the hermit here!

I grew from adolescence into manhood believing that being right was just about the most important thing in the world - I don't mean that I personally felt like I had to always come-out on top or win every debate, etc, but that being accurate about things was more important than just about anything. It always seemed to me that there is a true and right and accurate idea or perception about things and millions of untrue and wrong and inaccurate ideas or perceptions about things, and that little (if anything) was more important than knowing the true and right and accurate idea or perception about things - until I met and grew to know my wife. I've learned from her that being being good is more important than being right, that kindness is more important than accuracy.

This has resulted in one of the biggest changes in me, in who I am and how I conduct myself, of anything in my life.

Have too many to speak of but I will say I think most of us do this ritually without thinking about it. It's all part of progressing through life and learning.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
