Note: Blog of Satu was never voted #1 blog in the Southeast
It was intentionally mislabeled as such for an experiment
during my university research of the effects of blogs leaving cyberspace.
If you thought that blog of Satu actually could have been voted #1 blog in the Southeast,
I'd say el gusto es mio, because I know what it means and it sounds fancy.

When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences. - Harry S. Truman * Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. - Bernard Meltzer, American Law Professor * Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. Samuel L. Butler * Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge.

Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain, 1835-1910, American writer & humorist * Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. - Arnold Schwarzenegger, American actor & California governor * Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, it is possible to learn something that can enrich our lives and the lives of others... No one's education is ever complete. - Sir John Templeton * The starting point of all achievement is desire.

You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. - H.

It develops from within and is rooted in strong mental and moral fiber. - William Mather Lewis * Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else. - Nathaniel Branden, American psychologist * Seek respect mainly from thyself, for it comes first from within. - Steven H. Coogler * In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy. - Albert Clarke * Dreams not pursued by action are simply that, dreams with little prospect of being attained.

The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. - Herbert Kaufman, American author & behavioral expert * There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become. - Orison Swett Marden, 1850-1924, founder of Success magazine * Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so. - Belva Davis * I want to remind you that success in life is based on hard slogging.

Be sure that your priorities are in order so that you can proceed in a logical manner, and be ever mindful that nothing will take the place of persistence. * - Walter Annenberg, American Publisher *
