"Chance favors only the prepared mind." – Louis Pasteur, biologist

Yes, we must always be open to receiving.

"Chance favors only the prepared mind" and the mind should always be prepared. :-) Have a great day!

I will go on to say that a prepared mind is an open mind. Thank you Bogdan. Newest Release: Podcasting For Fun & Profit!

Hi Bogdan, Another great quote! Thanks for posting it. -------------- Sorry Ken, Methinks thou art in error as you are limiting your concept of a "prepared mind" having to be an "open mind" to some world other than the whole world. A terrorist bomber has a very prepared mind and it is certainly not an open mind. An Olympic athlete has a very prepared mind and yet may have a very closed mind on many issues. I submit a really true "Open Mind" is NOT open to ALL information as they may have carfully considered X amount of information (mayhap more than once) and found it lacking in substance. Rather, a truly "Open Minded" person is one who is open to information which IS NEW TO THEM. -------------------- Last, FYI - Louis Pasture was another ATHEIST!
