More From Ken Kesey

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
A new study finds that women use their whole brain when listening and men only use half of their brain. you see, men use the other half of their brain to come up with excuses. i don't think women use their whole brain when listening. i think they use half of it and the other half is used to memorize what men are saying so they can use it against them 10 years later!
Men Thinking Years
Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.
Running Morning Children
Take your job seriously, but don't take their complaints personally. if you take it personally you'll get upset and lose your edge. if you take it too personally, you'll lose your edge and your job. if you take it seriously -- it's you with them. if you take it personally, it's you against them. what steps can you take to ensure keeping your cool?
Jobs Upset Steps
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Lonely Cutting Simple
Let me make it clear that i do not assert that a president and the congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the government, and in these disagreements sometimes the congress has won and sometimes the president has won. but during the administration of the present president we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle.
Cutting Government Agreement
