Introduction

As I woke up I checked my phone & noticed Dauber only had a couple HC’s for his birthday bash at The Ridge so in a fit of guilt & most likely regret later I decided to pay him the same respect he is paying me by showing up at EBC & show up for him at The Ridge.  Well, & Mr. Drippy never misses a good Birthday party so he wanted to take coffee to The Ridge post beat down.

Naked Man Moleskin

  • When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and debts are high, And you want to Smile but have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

 

  • Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he’d stuck it out, Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow.

 

  • Often the struggler has given up, When he might captured the victor’s cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown,

 

  • Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

 

  • COMMITMENT defined in the F3 Q-Source as “unwavering & unflinching determination to accomplish its mission”. This is probably my most favorite virtue b/c I am a firm believer in honoring your commitments or as I like to say, “do what you say you’re going to do”.  To fully live this virtue, you must submit yourself to the group & remove your ego.  That is why a mission for any group is vital weather it is F3, your work, your family, etc.  If what you are doing is not helping to pursue & accomplish the mission, then it is most likely self-serving.  My challenge to all of you is to think about the most important things in your life.  Do you have a mission for your family??  Are you being loyal to that mission??  What kind of commitment do you have to living out that mission??    AYE!
