Meant to add this one last night. I was playing the pokies briefly after school, to relax, when I won exactly $40. I put it in a cup, and took it to the cashier. She weighed it in a machine and said, "That's 110 dollars."
Being honest, I piped up and said, "No, that's not right.
" To which she, rather huffily, replied, "Well I am sorry, but that's what the machine says, and i can only pay you out what the coins weigh in at." She thought I was expecting more. Anyway, rather than argue and embarrass her, I took the cash. $40 had weighed in at $110

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
