quotes from igoogle

  The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.
  The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

-- Ralph W. Sockman

  today, i read this quote from igoogle (i think the quotes function of igoogle is cool!!). and i think there is still something needs to add and that is in whatever situation, we have to accept the results as long as we participate in games.
  when the appeals we asked failed, we have to accept the condition and try to find out why we fail, but not to do something like a spoiled child.
  all the time i think why the politicians take their people to demonstrate but do not take them home. why they stir up their people's emotion but don't ease them. these politicians ask their people to do the first statment said (to have courage) but never tell them what kind of rules they should follow.
  and i, one of the silence masses, have to accept the test of tolerance. i have to suffer the inconvenience made by those politicans and their followers. when will be the test end? hope it would pass as soon as possible.
