[GreenKeys] RTTY Encouragement and 60 wpm gear

[Dave Mayfield]

Working hard to learn and pass the code rather than taking the easy way 
out, does a lot more for one than just passing an exam. It builds a 
stong mind and gives a person a feeling of having done something. You 
keep working on it Wayne and you will have something many others won't have.

Reminds of of a story.

One buddy of mine wanted to get his General, and another buddy to him 
that if he ever got his general he would give buddy No. 1 $100.00 for so 
doing. Well buddy No.1 took the easy way out. Since he had some minor 
issues with his heart he got his doctor to sign off saying that learning 
the code would be to stressful on his poor old heart (Load of crap) so 
he got his General without learning the code. So when he got his ticket 
in the mail, he went over to buddy No.2 and had the gall to ask for the 
$100.00 and he got it.

Anything worth having is worth working for.

Just one hams thoughts
