Choose

Remember that quote... From Trainspotting?

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage....etc.

Well ... I'm going to rewrite it for the new millennium :)

Choose life, choose an education, choose a good job, choose being a boss, choose intelligence, choose an imagination, choose dignity, choose pride, choose the right things, choose respect, choose morality, choose decency. Choose more than material things.

When I wrote that... The word choose started looking completely wrong. I wish I could say that so the kids I teach would listen.

Reaching Your Goal

So close, Not too far. I see it shining, Like a star. Within grasp, Touch and reach. I'll stick to it, Like a leech. In my vision, In my sight. I won't go down, Without a fight.
