Luck

Luck. The world is a kaleidoscope of constantly changing configurations. And I see a pattern within them. Those who develop some form of true goodness or excellence and persist in trying to do fine things are likely to get into a position where what's called good luck can meet and boost them. It can seem to happen to others, but that's appearance only. The corrupt, venal, and vicious have no truly good luck. In a sort of reverse alchemy, they taint anything they touch, and whatever may seem to come to them as a good most often ends up as a curse, not a blessing, until they themselves engage in inner change. But then, any curse evoking such a change ends up as a blessing, and perhaps the first of many that can now come.

So many people have asked to see one of my old Winnie the Pooh TV commercials and I just found one! Here it is:

Long ago and far away, on a Hollywood sound stage, I appeared in two network ads for the wise Pooh, to promote his adventures on Disney Home Videos. For two years, I was The National Spokesman for that most philosophical bear. This is one of the ads. I had a bad case of the flu but I hope you can't tell. A-Choo!
