Socrates actually used that line for the first time while on trial. I'm not sure what book Plato wrote that it was in, but that's where the line originated from. Good enough?
Good Nuff. Bonus Points to Madison. More BP to the person with the book.....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
1) Health - You can get unlucky here but a lot of it is within our control (e.g. see the fat thread). We take it for granted at times but ask any dying billionaire if he wouldn't trade it all to be healthy again.
2) Ambition - Sheer pride can take someone a long ways, sometimes even when one or more of the other keys are lacking. Ambition entails a drive to do great things which goes hand in hand with having a keen eye for ever-pervasive mediocrity in the world and the many simpletons living in it. Pride keeps you from becoming part of that mediocrity.
3) Family - Some people overcome horrible upbringing but they are the strongest of the strong (mentally) and unfortunately the exception. Most of us who are successful would not be where we are without our family.
4) Intelligence - In a high-tech often times dog-eat-dog world, it helps to be smarter than the competition.
5) Charisma - You won't go far if you can't communicate effectively. Personality and being liked by other people can be the difference between success and failure.
"There's three things in this world that you need: respect for all kinds of life; a nice bowel movement on a regular basis;and a navy blazer". ~Robin Williams (The Fisher King)
I've always loved that quote!

We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. Decca Recording, 1962
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common. John Locke

Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
Nah, I just play with a group of friends 2-3 times a week, and the occasional poker tournament within the town. We play Hold 'EM, but we also play 5 and 7 card stud, Omaha, Forty-Four, Criss-Cross, Windows, Picture-Windows, Wings, and a few more I can't think of. The only rule we have is no wild cards....that's not poker .

That's still cool.
I don't like wildcards either . Takes away from the true game.

How much money do you play around with?...if you don't mind me asking. I have heard people playing online are awful(Call everything, and end up losing lots of money). Is it true? Is it easy money?
