Boron - Chapter 25
It is important here, it is important out there, and it is
especially important in business dealings. People can smell
it when you are weak. When you are vulnerable. They can
smell success too. They can sniff out a winner.
And you can't fake it. Not for long. You've got to be
it!
Lord I'm tired. My vision is more blurred. And, I have just
made some minor but maybe important changes in my planned
routine over the next little piece of time. I'll tell you
what they are when I resume writing.
What I have decided is, I had better not take a day off
running right now. I intend to run in the morning and fast
tomorrow. And, then, run again Sunday, even though I fasted
the day before. What I'll do I think, is I'll get up early
like (sun up) 5AM and eat a couple oranges and drink a
little coffee and maybe take warm up shower or a longer than
normal warm up walk and then run Sunday too.
Boy, did I just have a good talk! I found a guy here who is
very much like me. His life is stones, he's intelligent,
he's Cherokee Indian and he has had some "incidents" also
and he gave me some good advice. He said you can't sink to
their level. Just don't talk to them. He also said avoid
cursing. And, it's funny; he does the same stuff I do: He
runs, he pumps iron, etc. Maybe a valuable friend.
I'm so tired. I really want to get out of here now.
Since this is the last of my first batch of letters (this is
#25) to you, I am going to try and think of something extra,
maybe a little special to say.
