Always a possibility...

ON WISDOM:

a.. Be kinder than necessary – you’ll understand in the long run…

b.. Learn to recognize the inconsequential - then ignore it…

c.. Every person that you meet knows something you don't - learn from them ...

d.. Get involved with your government - politics is too important to be left to the politicians. PERIOD

e.. Watch the "Andy Griffith Show" to help keep things in perspective….

f.. Don't waste time responding to critics…

g.. Remember that the more you know, the less you fear….

h.. Don't expect money to bring you happiness – some of the MOST miserable people I know are rich…

i.. Never resist a generous impulse – intuition is generally correct…

j.. Keep it simple. DITTO

k.. Measure people by the size of their hearts, not the size of their bank accounts….

l.. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality – what are you doing in your life that has relevance in 50,000 years?

m. Act with courtesy & fairness even if mistreated - don't let them determine your response…

n.. Trust in God but lock your car – and put instruments in the trunk… JUST DO IT.

o.. Don't major in minor things…

p.. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born – even more after you are gone, what
are you leaving?

q.. Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river…

r.. When declaring your rights, don't forget your responsibilities – Knowing and not doing are like not knowing at ALL…

s.. Loosen up. Except for rare life-and-death matters, little is as important as it first seems – and most will be forgotten in a week…

t.. No matter how dire the situation, keep your cool…

u.. Hear both sides before judging…

v.. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have – and by adding a little faith, you have love…

w.. Use your wit to amuse, not abuse…

x.. Never take action when you're angry…

y.. Be tactful. Never alienate anyone on purpose….

z.. Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures - have a toke now and then for perspective...

[ On the Lighter Side: ]


1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either.
Just leave me the hell alone.PLEASE!

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.

15. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

16. Don't squat with your spurs on.

18. If you drink, don't park; accidents cause people.

19. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

20. Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.

21. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

23. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

24. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works…

25. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

26. No one gets off this planet alive… dance all you can…If you can’t dance just wiggle…
