THE WATCH

The watch on your wrist that doesn’t just tell you the time of day, but the time in and of your life without even knowing it!

For at least every 30minutes of a day I stare down at my watch, watching the second needle spinning, not ticking (as a quartz watch operated by battery or an Eco Drive, operated by light).

I am speaking of automatic watches which function automatically by hand or wrist movements, and with the individual wearing it.

The watch knows the person, knows the persons daily activities, and it connects with us as we to it.

Especially for us epileptics, I may be sitting on a couch, a chair, whatever the day brings, (which for me is usually solitude, but due to that solitude my watch has stopped in past days which came as no surprise when you sit there, unhappy, stressed out by doing absolutely nothing, which sometimes entails in dodging my head into a book without even reading a word or sitting with my hands on my head without any sudden movements waiting for my wife and my life to return so that I can finally go home, out, whatever, whenever and wherever).

Even so, I know that I am fine when I look down and see the second-hand spin and that the time is right, that is the connection that I have, and as the seconds turn, the minutes and hours pass, I know that I am doing something right.

And it may just be for myself or yours, that if you keep those hands spinning, knowing that your life has a meaning and a purpose, then we can be happy because the day will come when the dials stop, the connection is over, but that day is a long time away!

EPILEPTICS: THE LEAST LAZY AND THE MOST EFFICIENT

Epileptics may sit at home and we may hear everything that’s going on around us, thinking of the possibilities that we can do, but others are asked instead and they do nothing that is requested of them.

Epileptics don’t need to point their fingers at anyone because we know those that are wrong and who are right when we hear questions that are asked of others to do, as easy and as simple as anything, but, yet refuse to as they think that they are right when everyone else around knows that they are not. Without saying a word, they just try to blow it over, but they don’t realize (or do realize more than not) that it does stay on the shoulders and heads of other people that they obviously do not care about family, friend or foe.

Epileptics wish to be asked to do the jobs that are asked of others, especially when the questions that are being asked go ignored, the task is not done well, or if done is left a mess for others to clean up and finish. But, we know what the reasons are for us never being asked: To keep us safe and secure, and silent.

Some think we are no good for many jobs.

Epileptics over the years began to look worthless, mindless, sometimes helpless even, and laughed at when we try push ourselves to limits that are not actually set by us, but by other people. This can make us feel more depressed day by day when we know that none of these issues are actually true at all. We know that we are better, resourceful, helpful and of value more then they will ever know.

Epileptics for that matter, CAN and WILL help others with problems, both small and severe that are in need, have faith, and request it to make sure their dreams DO come true, far from an unfair life! We will fight our entire lives to make a difference and we will never give up, no matter the obstacles that come our way.

So make sure you always remember that Epileptics are far from lazy and are here to help anyone who needs it the safest way they can!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE*

*in the lives of the sick or in need.

Having an idea of something that has not been done yet, but you may think could work, like a work in progress that has a potential for great things to come.

Putting yourself out there, even if out there does not exist for you at the time, can still give you more time at hand to keep pushing and trying new things without driving yourself mad in the process of failure.

Failure comes first, and then second, and then third until we find what is not for the people you are trying to heal by making a difference.

"My main purpose in life is to make enough money to create ever more inventions…

The dove is my emblem…

 I want to save and advance human life,

not destroy it…

 I am proud of the fact that I have never invented weapons to kill… 

I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others…

I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent... 

My principle business consists of giving commercial value to the brilliant,

 but misdirected, ideas of others…

 Accordingly, I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it".

These are just a few words from Thomas Edison,

As a boy he was plagued with fundamental learning disabilities that went well beyond mere deafness, such as cognition, speech, grammar, etc.

For the first four years of his life he never spoke a word, but when he finally began to, the word that his parents heard was

"WHY?"

He understood by watching and reading and wanted to know how to fix it, and knew he could. He read every book in his public library, his favorite being:

Isaac Newton who once wrote that:  

“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity,

 and not the multiplicity and confusion of things”, 

“To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age.

 Tis much better to do a little with certainty and leave the rest for others that come after,

 then to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of anything”. 

“Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth”.

Albert Einstein said many things as well, but I chose these, to my story of how to do good for others who do good for you:

“A person who never made a mistake

 never tried anything new.” 

“Logic will get you from A to B.

Imagination will take you everywhere.” 

AND -  

“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves --

This critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty.

The ideals that have lightened my way,

and time after time have given me new courage

 to face life cheerfully, have beenKindness, Beauty, and Truth.”

Anybody can be a genius, and with the right mind-set of ideas and possible accomplishments, there is no end as there are stars in the sky.

So, start MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
