On This Day in History or Happy Birthday Too

The vast differences in people of various decades born on the same day diminishes the credibility of newspaper or pulp astrological road maps.

However, looking at such a list should compel us to a comparison of our own progress in at a minimum of being successful in kindness, ingenuity, faithfulness, generosity, trustworthiness, leadership, loyalty, and bravery.

So if today is YOUR birth date anniversary join those who went before you on the same starting date and be similarly notable!
