There was little doubt that the bridge was unsafe.

All one had to do was look at it to know that with

certainty. Yet Bob didn't see another option. He may have been able to work one out if he had a bit
of time to think things through, but time was something he didn't have. A choice needed to be
made, and it needed to be made quickly.

You're going to make a choice today that will have a direct impact on where you are five years from
now. The truth is, you'll make choice like that every day of your life. The problem is that on most
days, you won't know the choice you make will have such a huge impact on your life in the future. So
if you want to end up in a certain place in the future, you need to be careful of the choices you make

from the doctor did to eliminate their pain, nausea, headache, or whatever other mild symptoms
they had. Sometimes she wondered if all they really needed was some interaction with others and a
bit of the individual attention they received from the nurses.

It's an unfortunate reality that we don't teach people how to make money (beyond getting a 9 to 5
job) as part of our education system. The truth is there are a lot of different, legitimate ways to
make money. That doesn't mean they are easy and that you won't have to work hard to succeed, but
it does mean that if you're willing to open your mind a bit you don't have to be stuck in an office
from 9 to 5 for the next fifty years o your life.
