Man enough, Unreasonable, Depression

My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is
to be man enough to stand up.
~ Robert A. Heinlein (Between Planets)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
~ George Bernard Shaw

A new study shows that licking the sweat off a frog can cure
depression. The down side is, the minute you stop licking, the frog
gets depressed again.

Is trivia reality?

Plans are useless, planning is essential.
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
~ Robert Heinlein

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
~ Philip K. Dick
