Oscar Bekoff (1917 - 2007)
It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that Oscar passed away peacefully, at his home in Tamarac, Florida, on the evening of September 12 after a brief illness. He had just turned 90 years young on August 27.
I am sure that his family would appreciate it if you could pass on this news, sad though it is, to anyone else who might have known and loved Oscar.

ATTITUDE
At
certain times in our lives we find ourselves in some
horrible situations, and we feel helpless and hopeless. It
should provide some immediate relief to consider that
these situations are not causing these awful feelings, but
it is what we think of these situations. Changing our
thoughts to more pleasant events can have an enormous
positive effect on how we are feeling. This has been
stated by many great minds, over very many years.
"A person is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his
opinion of what happens. By thinking about the good things
in our life and in new endeavors, we can feel good, even
in what appears to be a very disturbing situation.
Dwelling on the bad things when there is nothing we can
do, will only make us feel worse and will do absolutely no
good. So it all depends on what is in our thoughts, and we
can control this.
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a
heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. Study children. They
fall and get up and try again and again, and then they
walk. They are always ready to laugh, at the littlest
things. They are constantly interested in new things to
learn about. They sleep well.
It is not too late to seek a newer world."
