    LOVE your logic and sense of sharing.

    What is the February ’08 subject?

    Subject of interest suggestion for future writings – The Law.

    For me specifically, I’m learning about this “guilty/not guilty” justice system. I am amazed that innocence is not an option. As a light bearer recently indicted on 8 counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States of America, I resent that the BEST a jury of my peers can find me is not guilty.

    By the way, I have my own chicken and the egg theory. What is yours?

    All Is Well,

    Mary

    Hello, Mary; thanks for the suggested topic. I think “the Law” a good one and we’ll use it for March’s project.

    As for Feb. ’08′s topic… well, that would be telling! Stay tuned, though – all will be revealed on Monday morning, Feb. 4th!

    Hi Robert,
    It’s a really great idea.
    It’s a very interesting way of sharing! I’ve got to know your site from Jean Browman.

    I do believe that we can learn a lot of things from life. Blogging has made me on the lookout for wisdom, lookout for more opportunity on learning and sharing.

    Looking forward to join one of your WILF in the future.
    Cheers,
    Robert
    (we have the same name =D)

    I have a couple of ideas. What I learned from my child, and
    What I learned from Blogging. Just some thoughts. :)

  6. # Robert Hruzekon Apr 4th 2008 at 4:47 pm

    Etta, I’ll give those some thought. Thanks for the ideas – keep ‘em coming!

    Bob -

    It’s your good friend and upstanding member of our Houston “Executive Bored” group.

    This is a response to your call for potential WILF topics.

    I’ve always found that people react in interesting ways, do interesting things and sometime discover profound truths when they or their lives are under stress or danger. . .

    How about some WILFs that reflect on these stressed periods in our lives -

    WILF “a period of unusual stress/danger in my life”?

    Just think about it -

    DM

    If you’ve already done this then “never mind”

  23. # Robert Hruzekon Aug 26th 2008 at 12:05 pm

    You know; this is a good idea, Dennis. Look for “What I Learned From Stress” sometime in the next few months!

    Nice to see ya finally de-lurked, Bud!

    Hey Robert,

    You wrote a post awhile back telling how to learn something from anything, and basically how to write a WILF post. I am having trouble finding it and wondered if you would put a link to it here on the main WILF page. It was a classic post worthy of a special spot on this page.

    Also another idea for a future project, is what I learned from using free stuff, or getting stuff for free.

    Robert,

    At first, I thought this WILF was a variation of MILF. Got a good chuckle out of that.

    These are great learning articles for everyday life.

    Thanks,

    Wow. That is one serious list. It just makes me think of the quote “If I could only remember half the stuff I’ve forgotten.” or something to that effect. Reflecting back on the window of my life seems to be covered by a lot of blinds. No where is that cord to lift them away?!
