why complain


WE ALL POSSESS THE TOOLS TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS THAT SEEM TO BESET US
WE ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES...
WE ARE ALL BLESSED WITH CREATIVE THOUGHT
LET US BE OPEN TO LEARNING WITHOUT PREJUDICE
LETS PURSUE CULTURAL LITERACY AS OUR SURVIVAL AS A SPECIES DEPENDS ON IT
ALL THAT WE SEEK, SEEKS US
LET US ALL EMBRACE CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW
MAKE A HABIT TO LEARN OF ANOTHER IDEA, CONCEPT, ANOTHER VALUE EACH DAY
BUT MOST OF ALL...BE GRATEFUL

We acknowledge the efforts of our predecessors....
