Life Lessons from Princess Bride (#4)

Even the Cynical Can Teach You Something:
“Life is pain, your highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”
Nope, life isn’t fair. Obstacles are there to make you stronger, and make the win all the sweeter. And whining doesn’t help — it makes things worse.

#4 of 5. Rob Reiner had to fight off other directors make the film, including Francois Truffaut and Robert Redford. Reiner prevailed thanks in part to financial support from Norman Lear, creator of All in the Family.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
