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. M. Scott Peck, MD

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!
