Hello again-Craig Stringham here.

  Remember that the idea right now is just to get used to typing and using the editor program for your viewing and information pleasure.  I thought that I would make the topic on becoming a private pilot.

  When I was a young child and would hear an airplane fly overhead, I would look up and wonder how it would be, being at the helm of that flying ship. I would imagine how it would feel to have the freedom of going to far off places with that view from far above the world.

  I can tell you this if you have ever wondered the same thing; it is an awesome responsibility to have and enjoy. There is some amount of risk involved with flight. With good training and planning of each flight, that risk is decreased dramatically. Most aircraft accidents ARE the case of pilot error or the lack of planning ahead.

  The most important item to consider for safe flight is the weather. It is the #1 cause of an aircraft’s ability to loose either lift or the pilot losing visual references, hence the big bang. I don’t want to scare you about maybe becoming a pilot here. With good planning and the use of all of the weather related data and pilot weather briefings the risk of flying into danger can be taken completely out of the equation. There is a rule that I use and it goes like this: A takeoff is \NOT mandatory,  but a landing \IS. You see-What goes up must come down. (GRAVITY CAUSES THIS PHENOMENON) A pessimistic statement would go like this-THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GRAVITY-THE WHOLE WORLD SUCKS. What a way to view life huh?

  I would like to say this though. Flying small general aviation aircraft has been one of the most exhilarating experiences that I have ever enjoyed. A pilot becomes so focused on the job at hand and the beauty from  high above , that he tends to loose all other distractions in life during the flight. He becomes unable to focus on the problems at work or the broken garage door that needs repaired. Because of the intense focus that must be maintained to keep that tin can with an engine in flight, everything else seems to fade away. That is the beauty of being a pilot. It really is serenity at the core and peace of mind at the time. TOTAL MIND RELAXATION FOR A WHILE

 Smooth takeoffs and some greased landings are the bomb too, resulting in some very complimentary remarks from your passengers. Any pilot can have this result: It just takes practice and an  inner desire to make each takeoff and landing better than the one before by focusing on your skills and making a conscious effort to reduce your tolerances during each maneuver to become a more precise pilot, and a pilot with PRIDE.

  Hello again,  Craig Stringham here.  As I stated before , the idea behind doing these writings is to develop and/or sharpen typing and punctuation skills, while at the same time getting used to using this editor program. But at the same time I wanted to be able to give you some interesting reading or at the least share with you some of my thoughts about  what I think is interesting.

  With that said, I wanted to share a small story with you that was told by the pastor in attendance at our President Barack Obama’s first church service, after his inauguration.  I don’t recall her name and I won’t be able to restate her story exactly, but I will so my best to offer you the core implications behind it. It really is profound in it’s effect on our life if we dare to keep in front of our thoughts on a daily basis. (At least I try to)

So here goes the story:

  There once was a very wise chief of an Indian tribe. One day his son, a young brave who aspired to be Chief approached him and asked the question “How do I become as wise and gentle in heart as you, and have the confidence and admiration of our tribe as you do.”

  The Chief started by saying ” Are there times young brave that you know in your heart what the right thing to do is?  The young brave answered “Yes, but at the same time I may not want to do what I know I should. Like when I am told to help my mother when I want to go fishing.”    

 The Chief then said “Young brave, those feelings are the fight between the good wolf and the bad wolf that reside within you. The feelings of good and evil, and right and wrong. We all have them and it is important that you understand that good decisions like helping others, and doing the right thing even when we don’t feel like it are made by the good wolf and the selfish decisions that put us fist and hurt others are made by the bad wolf.”

  The young brave then asked the Chief “Father, Can you tell me which one wins?”

  The wise Chief replied, ” It’s the one that you feed.”

  Well I hope you enjoyed the story and with all  you do today and from this point forward may you feed the good wolf that resides within you.

  I know that hardly no-one is here to read this yet but I was told to write 5 different posts that contained at least 250 words.  I previously stated in post 1 that you were to do as you were told by the mentor.  So that is what I am doing and this is what you get. I know that there is a reason for this typing because I was told it by him.  He stated that the reason we were to write these different posts was to again become familiar with writing and punctuation once more.

  We are also to get the basics of how to go into the editing area of this program and become familiar with it also.  So as you can see I am doing what I was told to do.  This is an essential part of the 3 STEPS TO SUCCESS that I  talk about.  I am now doing the best I can at trying to not look at the keys as I strike them.  You can’t see what’s going on by reading what I am typing, but I can tell you that I have been doing a lot of corrections as I go.  This will really become usefull when it comes to writing the content for the future e-books that I plan ahead.  They say that practice makes perfect and I have a lot of practice to catch up on, as I haven’t done a lot of typing in my recent years. Anyway this is post number 2 and I feel I have done alright at getting used to the keys again.

  Hello to all of you who thought that becoming a success was out of your reach, and a virtual  impossibility.

 To that I must say this:   ”Success can be ANYONE’S to achieve by strictly following these -3 RULES of SUCCESS-

1.Decide What It Is That You Want To Do… Or Become

2.Find Someone Who Is Successful At Doing What You Want To Do 

(A MENTOR)

3.Now Just Do What They Tell You To Do–( OH!, AND NEVER GIVE UP )–
