Now, if we should begin to see that my expectation is based on reality – that 25% of the circumstances that I will encounter today will be just about like I want them. And 75% of 'em will have some resistance to the way I want it. And I expect that and I will never be disappointed.
... you've been in lots of disappointments in your life, haven't you? But they’re all because you expected that 100% of these to come out – every little circumstance every day and it's only 25 some days. Now, it wouldn't be no fun if they all came out just like you want ‘em every day – it would be so boring you’d go wild, you know? That's what they put people in prison for so that everything's just like they expect it to be all day long. Did you ever think of that? That's why they put people in prison so that their expectations don't have any variations in 'em.
Somewheres a man said, "Know the truth and the truth will make you free." The truth is that all day long every day, which is made up – our day is made up of many, many little circumstances through the day, is it not? And about 75% the kids are gonna spill milk on the floor, they're gonna get in a fight and they're gonna push this and they're gonna scream and they're gonna do all sorts of things and they're gonna do somethin’ altogether different than what you had any idea they were gonna do, huh? Right? And so 25% we're gonna have just about like we would like it and 75% is gonna have a little Second Force which is really to our advantage.
It's (Second Force) the greatest thing we could have because now we got somethin’ to keep us busy with and to practice a little ingenuity with, to work around, to apply a little time here and there – a little connivin’ if you please; but nevertheless, we get through with it all right, okay?
Now, this will require practice – like flyin’ an airplane, playin’ music, operatin’ a restaurant, sewin’ a dress, makin’ something in a machine shop or whatever, it will require practice
