Today and probably most of this week will have to be short Z-Grams. I am working on a major project and will not have regular access to my computer.
Here is today's shortie. A friend sent me a little card, inscribed as follows:
"I saw this card before and it inspired me. I saw it again, and I wanted to share it with you. I think it would make a good boost ZGram for Revisionists - you know that some call it their "Vitamin I . . . "
"When things look bleak and difficult, as they do some days, consider the following:
* In 1962, four young musicians auditioned for Decca Records. The executives dismissed them, saying: 'We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out.' The Beatles left without a contract.
* In 1954, Elvis Presley was fired by the manager of the Grand Old Opry, who said: 'You ain't going nowhere . . . son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck.'
* Alexander Graham Bell, after inventing the telephone, was told by President Rutherford Hayes: 'That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use one of them?'
* After it took Thomas Edison 2000 tries to invent the light bulb, a young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. "I never failed once," Edison said. 'It just happened to be a 2000 step process.'"

Thought for the Day:
"Revisionism is just a 6 million step process..."
