Growing up, all i did was work and vacation, but i loved it, no one pushed me into anything. the thing was i developed no special skills. i don't have any resentment because i am a performer and i've always felt that, but it did take its toll socially.

More From Dana Plato

There is a section of our population in south africa that you can't expect to get integrated in the economy of its own. these are people without skills and that will include young people who might very well have matric certificates, but don't have the skills to be absorbed in the economy. so we need to target people like those in a special way, in a focused way so that they have the skills and the capacity to participate in the economy. that requires special programmes.
Skills People Special
Luxury cruises were designed to make something unbearable (a two week transatlantic crossing) seem bearable. there's no need to do it now, there are planes. you wouldn't take a vacation where you ride on a stage coach for two months but there's all-you-can-eat shrimp. you wouldn't take a vacation where you had an old-timey appendectomy without anesthesia while steel drums play. you might take a vacation while riding on a camel for two days if they gave you those little animal towels wearing your sunglasses.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

The skills that we have are the actual magic skills - not the performing skills. we have to separate those. but the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don't get to use again.

The adventure is over. everything gets over, and nothing is ever enough. except the part you carry with you. it's the same as going on a vacation. some people spend all their time on a vacation taking pictures so that when they get home they can show their friends evidence that they had a good time. they don't pause to let the vacation enter inside of them and take that home.

Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. my resentment tells me that i don't receive what i deserve. it always manifests itself in envy.

Similar Quotes
Which is more worthwhile earning: a large fortune or the esteem and gratitude of the nation? this question is prompted anew by the death of ex-secretary of the interior [franklin k.] lane. he remained in public service, doing most noble work, until his means became absolutely exhausted, and he died before having had the opportunity to reaccumulate any bank account.... he died leaving no estate whatsoever. is what he did leave more to be desired, more to be coveted, than a fortune reaching into six or seven figures?
Gratitude Mean Opportunity
