John D. Ferguson's Blog: The Road Less Taken

I recently read something that stuck in my mind. I don't remember where I saw it or when, but it must have made an indelible impression because it keeps cropping up in my mind at the oddest times. It went something like, "No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress you are still ahead of everyone who isn't trying".

Now that says much to me, and pretty well sums up my career as a Read more of this blog post »

John’s Quotes

“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”
― Woody Allen

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
