REMEMBERING JOHN WAYNE!






JOHN WAYNE REMEMBERED-40YRS AGO

"Don't use my name for anything other than helping people with cancer."-John Wayne telling his kids.

40yrs ago an American icon passed away June 11,1979.He died battling cancer.No one in Hollywood had much of an impact more than 'The Duke.'He was definitely  a favorite in our household.

There was so many classic lines from his movies,but he would be proud of his family today.I remember reading somewhere that before he died he let the doctors use his condition to find answers to this terrible disease called cancer.He knew others had or were facing it and wanted to help on his end.

It shows the example of a great man he was.And according to the story by his kids in Closer magazine he raised his family to have respect which many today lack respect.His son Patrick and another fine actor told Closer:

"He was a big guy on core values-friendship,being trustworthy,honest and loyal.We learned these things by example and the way he lived his life.He didn't say,"You do this,you do that."We just knew what he respected."

You can tell John Wayne did a good job.

His daughter Marisa said:

"His greatest lesson?Understand everybody is doing their best,and you have to respect everybody you encounter.Even,if you disagree,you disagree respectfully."

It's a value everyone should be taught,no matter what field  your in.Everyone tries,even those you disagree with.God blessed the world with John Wayne and blesses greater when we learn those values of respect and live by them.God bless his soul and God bless those who are fighting cancer.May we find answers to this terrible disease that took so many and made others suffer fighting it.

TONIGHT MCCLINTOCK which is my favorite and I intend to watch it in rememberance of a great American patriot and actor.

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."-John Wayne.And he certainly did.Thanks 4 listening.

ROCKY VIII

                  ROCKY VERSUS CORONA! YO ADRIAN,WE'LL DO IT! It's another matchup of the century. A vicious fighter named Corona has been knocking the hell out of people,nations. So at home the Italian Stallion who's done enough battles in his career sees this fighter as a threat to not only freedom but also a threat to livelihood itself. He's worse than Ivan Drago but yet he comes from Russia too. If Rocky Balboa excepts this fight deep down it won't be an ordinary match. Keeping social distancing he must go the distance again. Rocky always did things because they were the right thing to do. Not out of revenge or just because others seek him to. But the Corona was more than just another fight. It was something he had to do even though at his age the threat of this fight could be deadly. But like Apollo Creed his friend he had to rise to this challenge regardless of the risk. It was no...

LEARN FROM PAST

Image
  "We can draw lessons from the past,but we cannot live in it." President Lyndon B. Johnson.  Learning and looking ahead makes a journey lessonable and rewarding. For the past is filled with mistakes as well as successes. And both are equally vital in learning in order to see the hopes of tomorrow.  If we fail to learn and understand the past we end up living in it. For it keeps repeating.  And if it keeps repeating, the worse it gets. So let us draw where the lessons are learned, teach where it's never repeated  so that we live for today and not yesterday.  And when we live for today. Tomorrow won't be so uncertain.  We shall overcome when we learn.And in each of us from family, education, community, faith and work ethics,we will be strong in each and our society will be great.  For a dream that is built by us all is a frontier we will accomplish together and America will be the promise we know it can be. So let us learn in order to see.

HAPPY AS WE MAKE UP OUR MINDS!

Image
  "We are as happy as we make up our minds to be." Abraham Lincoln. I'm the happiest when I write-happiest taking a scrap piece of paper and start scribbling on it. Example like reading a quote from President Lincoln and writing it down because it tells me something. I find my treasure in scrap paper.So much I have it all over my office. When I see a quote or something comes to mind that strikes me.I grab that piece of paper and write it down. Something peaceful about a pen and a piece of paper.You can simply scribble and be just as happy with words.If the notes touch you,then you read it again and again.Sometimes I hurry writing and then can't read what I wrote. That disturbs,but I need to slow down when I write. But some of my writings I think to myself,"Did I just write that?" Being happy and how we make up our minds to be happy is ours alone.We can be inspired by others but our happiness and how we make it should inspire more,because each of us has a gif...
