Wish List:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of, educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race., -- Calvin Coolidge
What I Know For Sure:

It's a friendly, happy universe. Try thinking that for a couple days and watch what happens.

HELLOOOOOO!

I'm not bragging. . .Well, yes I am. I believe I have the most eclectic Group--outofourshells--and People connections than any grouping on Gather.

It has been my pleasure to find and invite new people to mingle with those who have been with me for a while. It is my wish for you to use these groupings to your advantage. If you have a group of your own, please think of outofourshells as a second home. If you belong to other groups, please think of outofourshells when you publish. Anyone is welcome to join as long as they agree with the Group's
description--which is mainly to show respect and to remember arguing is not the same as fighting. It is more akin to debating.

I have tried to attract as diverse a population as possible. I want our group and connections to to educate--as well as--learn from each other.

Thank you for your joining up and I look forward to your offerings!

Sincerely,
Nyota

P.S. I am sending this article to all of the Groups with which I am connected. I don't want to miss anyone ([;p)] !
