LIFE IS DIFFICULT!
     This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.  It is
     a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transend
     it once we truly know that life is difficult
     - once we truly understand and accept it -
     then life is no longer difficult.

The Posters and what they Mean.
        * Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus - Life is all about respect!
        * Quote from Douglas Adams - We can learn from role models or
                from seeing other's mistakes.  But none the less we
                MUST LEARN so our behavior can be healthy!
        * Quote from Elie Wiesel - You must find your own answers for a
                healthly life style.  It won't always be easy!
        * Quote from a Rush Song:  Good health and a great life are all
                about making good decisions for yourself!
        * Steve Prefontaine - Prefontaine's signature race, the 5000m
                final at the 1972 Munich Olympics, has become a life
                metaphor for the giving up a sure chance for a Bronze
                medal (easy to achieve goal) by going for the gold
                (hard to achieve goal).  While this is not always a wise
                life strategy, this attitude occasionally accomplishes
                great deeds.
        * Billy Mills - Mills had never won a national championship but in the
                biggest race of his life he won the Olympic gold medal.  He
                never gave up on his dream!  Profile.
        * Jen McDermott - A 2 time State Champion in the Long Jump.  During fire
                drills we go to the back of "McDermott Garage"
        * A story about Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha has
                relevance for many Ridgewood Students!
        * Uluru - A very large rock in Australia. My daughter trained as a
                geologist and Mr. Brown has a good friend who is a geologist.
                Check out more about this rock: Uluru 
        * My Grandson Travis, Our Dog Scout, The Farm where I grew up,
                My favorite band; Rush, My track & Cross Country Teams
                and the Skiing is just for fun!
