Warm-up
MB- Can you name three
consecutive days without using the
words Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday?
MB- I'm as small as an ant, as big as
a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze,
but can come like a gale. By some I
get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll
dance to the music, though I can't
hear. Of names I have many, of
names I have one. I'm as slow as a
snail, but from me you can't run.
What am I?
MB-How is it possible that a
cowboy could ride into a western
town on Friday, stay two days, and
ride out on Friday? Assume that
this is not a time traveling cowboy.
MB-You have nine ball-bearings,
all of the same size but one slightly
heavier than the others, though not
enough to be detected by holding
them. You have some balance
scales and are allowed to do only
two weighings of any number of
ball bearings. How do you find the
heavy one?

TOTD- “Watch your thoughts, for
they become words. Watch your
words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they
become habits. Watch your habits,
for they become character. Watch
your character, for it becomes your
destiny.”
TOTD-“Dreams are like stars...you
may never touch them, but if you
follow them they will lead you to
your destiny.”

TOTD-“I have no regrets in my life.
I think that everything happens to
you for a reason. The hard times
that you go through build character,
making you a much stronger
person.”
TOTD- “Destiny is no matter of
chance. It is a matter of choice: It is
not a thing to be waited for, it is a
thing to be achieved.”
