QUOTE A DAY - August 17, 2010
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
You must forgive me today. I am a little blue. Two of
three of my sons just left for college and my youngest
will be leaving in 4 days for his first journey to
college.
You know, most of you have been with QAD for years. In
Oct. it will mark the 12th anniversary issue. You have
been on this journey with me. You read about my boys
growing up, the trials and tribulations of business,
health issues, etc.
You have come to "know" me in certain ways. Those of
you who have contacted me via email and struck up
correspondence, I have been privileged to know you.
I thank each and every reader for joining me on this
amazing journey.
I told my wife that her job with our boys and my job were
different. My job was to help them grow to be men and
independent. Hers was to nurture. I had to risk them dis-
liking me at times when I held their feet to the fire to
demonstrate the link between "freedom and responsibility".
But as I write this intro, I am a bit sad as I miss
hugging them...going to their functions...and being part
of their lives. They have become independent...my job is
pretty much done and understand as in Milton's "Paradise
Lost", you can never go back to "paradise" except in
memories.
But I am sure there will be new milestones and memories
to make. Thanks for reading!
Best,
JA

The verbal confusion technique, which is quite difficult
to administer, involves an approximation of double-talk
in which instructions of a somewhat contradictory kind are
given in rapid succession, making it impossible for the
attentive subject either to quite comprehend or quite
acquiesce to any of them. Finally, he simply gives up all
attempts and more or less collapses into a hypnotic state.
--Jesse Gordon, Handbook of Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis

A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.
