I have had many people question me over the years in regards to working in a Casino and putting up with all the noise. How do you put up with all the noise from those slot machines they say. Well my answer is simple. I, like many, have gotten use to the fact that I work in an environment with a steady stream of noise. I hardly hear the slot machines anymore because I have learned to tone them out. Not only do I apply this at work with the slot machines, but also with all the other noise I may encounter during my day ....... including the noise made by other people.
I have often thought that people who talk are the equivalent of a slot machine. You can't stop people from talking and creating noise, but you sure can learn to tone them out. This is how I got through some of the most challenging times in my life. I just toned them out the same way I do the slot machines and it worked. You can't change other people, however, you can learn to adapt to all that noise. It's unfortunate really that we live in a society that creates so much noise but all we can do is look within ourselves and try our best not to contribute to the ruckus.
I love the sound of silence, but there are a few things I know for sure. You can't quiet a City, you can't quiet a slot machine and you can't stop people from creating noise that hurts others , however you CAN choose to tone it all out ...........

Ya. I know exactly what you mean. In retrospect I sure will I knew then what I know know about all this stuff. It would have made growing up much easier. At least we can see it now.

I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me... Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.
