"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." -- unknown I have, at present, two ideas in my head. I'm not sure which to pursue.. though the choice is really quite obvious. One would involve actual research and digging... and notes... and well, quite a bit of true, serious work. One would involve ordering and finishing the story inside my head. One I've nursed and pondered for ages and ages. One that I've written a couple of what could loosely be considered chapters already. The second is the one I should pursue. The first.. hold appeal since it's really a non-fiction idea and the last few books I've read have been nonfiction. In other news... I am also going to try and dabble in betting again. The problems of having a fat ass tax return sitting my account. I wait to see what sort of bonus I'll get at work.. and then I'll decide what to do. Anyway, in terms of betting... my problem is, as I guess it is for most, that I get greedy. I quickly start to think, "Why can't I double or triple my money with each bet?" The problem with this line of thought is that... one must be getting really good odds to make that sort of return, which really means a parlay bet.. and well, they call them 'odds' for a reason. I'm going to adopt a much more rigid philosophy this time around -- think the little engine that could. Win $20 a day.. five days a week and you'll have something like $4,000 in cash. Never mind the occasional loss... but all you really need to do is bet something like -300 games (win $30ish per $100 bet)... and well... don't get ahead of yourself. Or so I tell myself.
