[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680645, member: 19522"] I go to this land today......I am subbing as a rep for a friend who cannot make the annual meeting for the non-profit I was involved with. The one where for ten years we worked to try to bring people together, only to be brought tumbling down by a potion of lies and slander. Witches and Ogres. They are still walking amongst us today, people who are unscrupulous and mean spirited, who would hold themselves above others, while working behind the scenes to annihilate any who would question their actions. That is the leadership, who would smite the minority from existence, so they can continue unchecked in their skullduggery. It will be an interesting meeting. I could walk away, if it were not for friends who stood beside me and fought for the right thing to happen. So I go. A bit hesitant. But, like the legendary surfers who rode Waimea bay on Thursday, giant waves of 30 feet with 60 foot faces, there was no being there with timidity. It was either charge forward, or be eaten. So I go. I suppose I could, Cedar, patience and humility. I could devour this book and learn, without the cheat sheets. No one would know. The terminology is intriguing. The book, very differently written from text books of long ago, jumping all over the place with inserts and examples. It is the new way of learning. I guess, I could look at it as a blessing, not a curse. Tread on with courage and not dread. For me. Okay, I will. I can do this. Latin and Greek meets geek. I say geek with the highest regard. I remember you writing that your friends think you are a geek, that is a compliment, I say. The Urban dictionary defines it as this.... [I]The people you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult The geeky kid now owns a million dollar software company. [/I] It is also defined in conventional dictionaries as a person who is socially inept[I]. [/I]You do not strike me as that. I would say a better definition is "one who thinks out of the box and does not conform to societies norms, is self driven and motivated by their own thought process." Yes, indeed, it is learning another language. How amazing that these ancient languages are still used in our modern world. Okay, I will take in a deep breath and stay. The class has an end date. I will navigate the stormy waters. leafy [/QUOTE]
