A frog was feeling down in the dumps, so he went to visit a froggy fortune-teller, hoping to hear that good news was ahead.
"Froggy," said the psychic, "you are going to meet a beautiful young woman who'll want to know everything about you."
"That's great!" exclaimed the frog. "Where will I meet her--at a party, in a bar, down by the pond?"
"In a biology class," replied the psychic.

Failing Upward
Michael Jordan, a perennial optimist, once said, "I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions, I have been entrusted to take the game's winning shot...and missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And, that is why I succeed."
The first Harry Potter book was turned down by eight agents, and when J.K. Rowling finally got a deal, she was warned by the publisher, "You'll never make any money with children's books."
Jay Leno's high school grades were so bad that his guidance counsellor recommended that he drop out and go into manual labour. His loving, but no-nonsense mother sat down with him one day and gave him the following advice, "Look, you're not very good looking and you're not very smart, so you'll have to do twice as much as everyone else to succeed."
Albert Einstein failed his college exams and was advised by a teacher to drop out of school. She said, "You'll never amount to anything, Einstein."

About Me
- Joanne Guidoccio
- In June 2008, I decided to take advantage of early retirement. So far, I have no regrets. Each day is different and I don't always have a plan. I love casting lots of irons in the fire, and now I have the time and freedom to consider something just because it sounds interesting.
