“DisciplineI am old and I have hadmore than my share of good and bad. I've had love and sorrow, seen sudden deathand been left alone and of love bereft. I thought I would never love againand I thought my life was grief and pain. The edge between life and death was thin, but then I discovered discipline. I learned to smile when I felt sad, I learned to take the good and the bad, I learned to care a great deal morefor the world about me than before. I began to forget the "Me" and "I"and joined in life as it rolled by: this may not mean sheer ecstasybut is better by far than "I" and "Me.”
