I Think It's Official Now..............

yep. and for every example of perseverance, I can give an opposite example. I have seen people lose their life savings and the life savings of loved ones trying to help them by persevering. Bad investments that they just would not give up on. They felt that if they would just keep working harder, they would succeed. Each situation is unique. You MUST have the intellect and experience of when to recognize what is a losing bet and what can be fixed. You can not wait until it is as plain as day because then the road back may be blocked. You must be able to see the little things and understand what they mean and how to navigate them. The most successful people have that trait.

And once again, I am not saying you are right or wrong. Just saying that going just one strategy is a recipe for disaster. You must evaluate the situation and only then decide what is the right strategy.

I'll say again that the little things say to me that even with more talent, Fox is not the guy. We can move forward with him and hit a wall and then bang against it for a few years (Lovie anyone) and then make the change anyway or we can be proactive.

Of course I can be wrong. It has happened before :-)

Well being a former card carrying drunk myself I can certainly associate it with AA too but I first heard it long before those times.  Anyway I just copied another's quote without bothering to comment on it's attribution since that was peripheral to the point he was making.

It's much like on another music website I often post on where we have the spelling and grammar Nazis who like to lecture others about that when it has nothing to do with whether or not the post was able to be read and clearly understood.  Hell these days it's the smart phones that make many of those errors anyway.

I wasn't all that upset about it either because the message got across but I had to laugh and find a way to needle him just a bit for even bringing it up.  I'm not that thin skinned or I could never hang with this bunch, haha.

What disturbed me more than that news was the guy even talking about is at all a week before the official presser where we assume Pace will confirm his return.  Maybe others didn't catch the same arrogance in I did.  It was pretty much like flipping the bird to those who say he should be fired.

The guy is defensive and thin skinned as all hell right now and that is not a good way for any HC of this team to be when dealing with Bear fans and the Chicago media.  If he thinks this is bad wait 'til next season if things don't improve mightily.  He'll wish he had stepped down.

I wouldn't deny that but when place the words Bears and perfect scenario in even the same paragraph you usually need winch as big as a city block to get them next to one another in a single sentence.  A white buffalo is less rare than a perfect anything around Halas Hall.

According to Ryan Howes, writing in Psychology Today, the quote has been attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin and Mark Twain. A good summary of the various places the quote has been used can be found here.

Franklin and Twain are almost certainly not the sources of the quote, witty as those fellows were. Online, sources commonly attribute the quote to Einstein in his *Letters to Solovine: 1906-1955,* although no one seems to be able to produce a page from that volume that holds the quote (and Google books searches have also come up empty).

An earlier version of the quote came from author Rita Mae Brown’s novel *Sudden Death,* published by Bantam in 1983.

An even earlier version of the quote can be found in the Narcotics Anonymous “Basic Text,” released in November 1981 (PDF).
