Yes indeed, success a choice

              I  am no basketball fan but I could not resist browsing

    Rick Pitino's arrogant little bestseller " Success is a Choice "

    at the Providence Public Library .

                  There is HUBRIS in the very title ! I can imagine

    George W writing a similar book with that trademark smirk on

    his face.

             Consider the vast majority of us , consider all of

    life's LOSERS.   They simply did not choose SUCCESS; FAILURE was

    so much more tempting !

              So don't feel sorry for those crummy looking people

    downtown who  might even ask you for a quarter. Don't feel

    sorry for the working poor or the unemployed. They could

    have chosen the  GOOD LIFE and SUCCESS . But instead they

    chose seedy failure.

                  Should Pitino write another book in the future,

    he should title it : " Count Your Blessings " - which suggests

    a more modest explanation for worldly success.

                 No more smirky SUCCESS books, please !
