i felt the potential gain was worth the risk

"I candidly admit that I knowingly and deliberately left the planned working area
out of TV coverage to examine and photograph the interior crater walls
for possible bedrock exposure or other useful information.

I felt the potential gain was worth the risk."

-neil armstrong

the photograph is one that has great meaning for me: although it is not a moment of risk, it is a moment of connection and love. actually: love is the riskiest thing around. risk something today, maybe? theresa said it need only be something small. just one small thing. for love.  

she also said this: "at the moment of death we will not be judged according to the number of good deeds we have done or by the diplomas we have received in our lifetime: we will be judged according to the love we have put into our work."

Late to the Party: Nice Guys Still Finish First

Admittedly late to the party on this one, but always worth noting: 

Nice Guys Finish First. 

Proven, pretty much, at Harvard. 

Tested in Kindergartens all over the country. Double-tested in homes all over the world. 

Click Here for the NPR interview with David Rand.

Be nice. It's the best way to make your way through the world. Good to remember, today and every day.

Above, Cindy Sherman photo from the MOMA this summer. Surely, she is looking for a book about nice things. 

Why late to the party? The NPR interview was in March. Even so, the research is eternally relevant.
