"We don't have to be exceptionally smart, we just have to avoid being stupid.  If you avoid being stupid, you'll be ok.  Unfortunately, a lot of people do a lot of stupid things."

This is so true.  Talk to any of your friends and family and I'm sure you have story after story of things they've done that you go, huh?  If they had just avoided doing that one stupid thing, they'd be in such a better place, right?  Same with you, I'm sure.  I'm sure you can wrack your brain and think of a few stupid things you've done.  If you could go back and not do those stupid things, would you be better off?  Probably.

So, don't try to be a genius and don't think you need to be wiser than everyone else.  Just be less stupid.  Avoid stupid mistakes and you'll be doing better than the majority.

Invest in peace...

Please join me in supporting the Arthritis Foundation in its efforts to find a cure for Arthritis and its related diseases. Each year since 2006, I have bicycled from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money to help find a cure for the 46,000,000 Americans and 300,000 children (yes, this is not only an "old person's" disease) with some form of Arthritis.Visit www.californiacoastclassic.org for more info.  

I have set a personal goal of raising $6,000. Please help me reach this goal by DONATING on line at our secure web site at www.cccsocal.kintera.org/paulson or send a check to me payable to the "Arthritis Foundation". Thank you so much for your generosity and support. Working together, I know we can make a difference. The ride takes place 9/25 - 10/2/10.
