This is a long, complicated story, but that�s life, isn�t it?


I always try to find strategies to make my life better, to make it easier. That doesn�t always work.


I wanted to play an old song, �It�s A Man Everytime�.� I �was able to find a recording on the net, but I couldn�t find the lyrics. I knew there had to be a way to get speech to text so I could easily print out the lyrics from the recording. I spent three hours on it and couldn�t do it, so I used a good strategy and went to a friend for help.

He couldn�t do it either.

Finally, I gave in and decided to do it the hard way. I started playing the recording on my PC and paused at the end of every line and dictated the words into my iPhone. I knew this would be slow and laborious, but the easy way didn�t work.

It took me five minutes.

Strategies O the Day:�

When what you�re doing isn�t working, try something different.

Sometime you need to just grit your teeth, hitch up your pants, and grind it out.
