A Soulful Journey

There are times when some luminaries outshine all else.  The sun when it shines, for example, makes it impossible to see other stars. A Philadelphia Phillies captain once delivered to the umpires before the game the lineup card. It read with a notation is the ninth spot - the pitcher's place - "Willoughby and the others" for the batting order.   - George Will

There is a tale about a man who once rigged an electric battery to his doorbell.   He was happy when he heard a loud ring when someone pushed the button.   He then connected a wire from that same battery for a light in his bedroom.   However, the light did not work.   So he called an electrician who examined the contraption and said, “Don’t you know that it takes more power to shine than to make a noise?” It's all about the effort we expend to do our best, we our best.  If it is cheap it is probably worth it.
