"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." -- Sir Winston Churchill
Would you say Sir Winston Churchill was correct?
This is a tough one.
There are many "Truths" out there that it appears like could fly in the face of governments or major corporations. It takes a lot of courage to take such a challenge on. At times, it is best to do your research and examine how you should pursue this-- rather than openly taking on something that will be a half-way pursuit.
A good warrior knows when to retreat up the hill and wait for the best timing-- or to acquire allies where his efforts will become more successful.
Just because someone is not immediately taking "action" does not mean that they are planning to take "in action". They may just be aligning all of the ducks in a row to take something greater on.
Walk a different way to work. Use your left hand to do the right hand tasks. Change it up. Learn to see the aroma of the colors. Try to feel the hues of the spectrum.
In other words, be open to nuances. Some people search the whole world their whole life for the truth - and yet they could have found it on the knocker of their door.
Well, that would be true... If he said "liberal men", not just "men".

I would like to add Digg, Reddit, Stumble Upon, etc. buttons to my hubs. Is there a way?I'd like to provide readers with an easy ability to Digg my article. However, I don't want to add a link box to each and every article. Is there another way?

Which Social bookmarking site do you find the most beneficial?Just curious, because I have a Xomba account, but recently I opened an account on Stumble Upon and Reddit. Both Stumble Upon and Reddit seemed to have done pretty much nothing. So what do you find to be the most beneficial?

I find Stumbleupon great for boosting traffic but am nor sure how to add the HubPages tracker in my URL. - Any ideas?
by Steve Andrews 17 years ago
I get such varied viewing figures from Stumbleupon that change drammatically and can do within hours eg today my viewing figure for 7 days dropped from in the 90s to 0. Just a day ago it was in the hundreds. So how can it go from hundreds to 0? Surely the figure should increase not decrease to...

Do you find it strange to stumble over words that you're visually familiar with in thought?What I am getting at is you can see the picture of the word, know what the word stands for, but can not pronounce the word? When I was a child I did childish things, but when I became a man I put away...
