Boys,
What happens if we fail? It happens all the time. Sometimes you end up as road kill. Other times you end up finding another route.
We should at least make informed decisions.
RB#1 – T1D
If T1D wins, the diabetics live with the miserable side effects of rapid highs and lows. Fortunately, it will be short life.
RB#2 – ADHD
If ADHD wins, we live like birds. Eat for today then fly away hoping to find food tomorrow. Kinda sucks when the dinner pond is replaced by a new mall or if we leave a day late and get iced in without food. Fortunately, it will be a short winter.
RB#3 – vWD
If vWD wins, there is blood all over except for where it should be. Flip a coin to determine if this next episode will kill you or just make you and others miserable.
RB#4 – Hygiene
If bad hygiene wins, sickness abounds and people we love stay away.
RB#5 – School
If we fail at school, there are fines and jail for mom for boys’ truancy. Kids can be put into foster homes. Statistically, boys’ future dims to almost nothing by the time you add the life threatening issues whose treatments are made of unobtainium for those without financial options.
RB#6 – Chores
If we fail at chores, we are unable to enjoy any of the cool stuff we have and there is constant fighting over what happens to be in view.
RB#7 – VRC
If we fail at VRC, we miss an opportunity to change the world and associate ourselves with good people.
RB#8 – BS
If we fail at Boy Scouts, then you won’t know the lifelong pride that working towards a worthy goal brings and will forever wonder ‘what if?’
RB#9 – g00d m00d f00d
If we fail at g00d m00d f00d, we are unlikely to keep the T1D boss at bay and will be perpetually sputtering in our journeys when we could be humming like a racecar.
RB#10 – Legacy
If we fail to purposefully leave a powerful legacy, our memories die with us leaving behind those who might have done better if we had shown them how.
Your success is YOUR choice. NO ONE, including me, can make it for you.
GAMBATTE!
