Dear Nancy,

My Questia project is getting bigger — and more complicated — by the minute. Now I've got lots of different research notes, and I'm working with many different publications. Is there a quick way to sort and display this information?Outnumbered in the Aussie Outback Click here for Nancy's response

My Focal Point in Life

I’ve made up my mind to walk that long road to success. I will try not to falter; I am aware that I may make missteps along the way. But I believe in the secrets of great minds (Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Albert Einstein, Woodrow Wilson, Harvey Mackay, Booker T Washington etc.) that after climbing a great hill, one would only find that there are more intimidating hills to climb. Although I will take a moment to rest here, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the daunting distance I have come, I can rest only for a moment.... To distinct between my goals and my dreams. ....a dream is just a dream...A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline...Since with success come responsibilities, I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended....I’ve learned in my lifetime that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed...since humans cannot solve their problems with the same level of thinking that created them, I will not only use all the brains I’ve got, but all I can borrow to analyze, to configure and optimize social statistics, since everything they say is data. This only reminds me of the importance of seeing things for what they are, and not how and what I feel about them. The expression helps me to be objective and fair, and to put my feelings and emotions to one side when reacting and making decisions, especially when my reactions and decisions affect others.
