My New Year's resolution is to never forget this ... |

The More Things Change (the more they stay the same.) - Bon Jovi
.
.
.
.
.
Here is Harry, age 4, ................................................ ... and here is Harry age 54.
Things have changed for him, but ironically they have remained the same.
"C'est la vie" - (That's life.)
.
.
I, like most people, find this is true for the majority of new year's resolutions meant to change one's life for the better.
They are very rarely kept ... and become a personal joke.
.
.
"So, may all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions." ~ Joey Adams
.
.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
.
.
But humbly, I submit to you another man's experience, mine.
.
.
First.
My beloved grandmother (Granny), Flossie, loved her tobacco when she was young ... and she loved it when she was old.
.
(Of course, this is not her true photo.
... And, for you fellows staring at the girl on the left, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.")
.
Now, back to my story.
... All her children and grandchildren, except me, asked her to give up tobacco and she would say,
"One day, I may quit." :rolleyes:
She never ever promised in any way that she would change because
... she loved the stuff (snuff) since she was a young woman and chose not to give it up until the day she died.
I accepted her choice to not give it up and endure both the criticism and the risk to her health.
(*She did not die of any tobacco-related illness.)
..
Secondly.
This is a true photo of my beloved Grandfather "Shelley" (age 37, 1938 A.D.)
.
Like my grandmother, he had a tobacco habit since he was ten(10) years old, which began in the year 1909.
He always said, "If there is ever proof that tobacco causes cancer, then I will quit immediately."
.
I was with him on a day in the year 1965 when the Surgeon General of The United States announced on TV,
"Tobacco causes cancer."
A second after the announcement, he tossed his pack of cigarettes into the trash and said to me (age 13),
"Elijah, I will never smoke or do any form of tobacco again."
.
And he never did. ... He lived for 17 more years.
.
I saw my earliest role-model have the will-power to give up a life-time 56-year-old habit.
From him, I learned people can change their bad habits ... if they truly want to.
.
____________________________________________________________________________
.
As to my New Year's Resolution to change myself for the better,
It is the same resolution that I live daily, by the hour and minute, since I learned it in my youth,
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."
If I have a resolution that is within my ability to achieve,
it is to never forget this great wisdom and practice it in regard to myself and all the people I shall ever know.
I respect their "conscious choice" as to how they wish to live or die.
(But, I learned as a psychotherapist that most people are not conscious in regard to their choices.
They do not decide/choose from thinking but from emotions.
What a therapist does is try to help them come to a true conscious self-aware informed choice." )
.
No matter how much the world changes, human nature remains the same,
"Therefore, "the more things change the more they stay the same."
... unless you exercise your will-power to choose a better path.
.
.
(*I am convinced from a lifetime of observation as a professional psychologist,
"In the end, people choose to do what they most want to do.")
.
I hope you always choose life over death in all matters.
Vaya con Dios.
Elijah

Quote:Maastricht University (UM) announced that almost all of its Windows systems have been encrypted by ransomware following a cyber-attack that took place on Monday, December 23.
UM is a university from the Netherlands with over 18,000 students, 4,400 employees, and 70,000 alumni, UM being placed in the top 500 universities in the world by five ranking tables in the last two years.
"Maastricht University (UM) has been hit by a serious cyber attack," the university announced on Christmas Eve, December 24.
"Almost all Windows systems have been affected and it is particularly difficult to use e-mail services. UM is currently working on a solution."
It is currently unknown if scientific data was also accessed or exfiltrated by the attackers during the attack, prior to the systems getting encrypted with the yet unnamed ransomware strain.

Quote:ver since its debut trailer in 2012, showcasing a haunting, yet alluring mood-piece detailing a violent sci-fi dystopia, all eyes have been on Cyberpunk 2077. And that's to be expected, given it's the new RPG from CD Projekt Red, the developer behind The Witcher series. Based on the cult-favorite Cyberpunk 2020 pen-and-paper RPG, the studio's next project builds upon their pedigree of dense RPGs while venturing out into a drastically different world.

Quote:The chief executive officer of a telemarketing company in Sherwood, Arkansas has let go 300 employees after the company failed to recover from a ransomware infection months back.
In a deeply apologetic letter to employees, The Heritage Company CEO Sandra Franecke said two months ago their servers were attacked by hackers who demanded a ransom to unlock the systems. Despite paying the attackers what they demanded, the company struggled to get back on its feet. The company could no longer pay wages so the CEO decided to close shop and let everyone go.
