Words to Live By.

It is what it is no matter how hard you don't want it to be.

As you slid down the bannister of life may all the splinters be in the right direction....

Don't play leapfrog with a unicorn....

Don't argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience....

I can't means I won't......

'But I would rather have it bent and dull and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused. '

Want what you have, not what you want.

Works good until you have to want what you don't have.

No coffee, no progress.

I like the refinement. Mine is along the lines of... MORE COFFEE!!!

99.5% of the people you meet in real life during your lifetime, will ultimately not be worth knowing. And that's an optimistic view of the world.

In life you'll run into and deal with problem people but if your always running into them everyday then it's probably you who is the problem.....

Anyone that boasts about what a 'stand up' guy they are is often anything but......

In the end it always about money, always......

If you're wearing an ankle monitor, don't do this.

That is some world class stupid.

 

[Monocrom]

Stupid and dangerous.... That's not a good combination.

BTW, I think that article left off a couple of zeroes. An M11 is a SIG Sauer P228. Over $1,000? Maybe if he only stole two M11s.

..... problem people ... but ... it's probably you who is the problem.....

It took me 40+ years to learn that . . . .

Here's how I put it several years ago: if you have problems with everyone around you, stop blaming everyone...

 

[Monocrom]

It took me 40+ years to learn that . . . .

For 40 years, I've had to adjust my personalty to get along with the vast majority of co-workers. You see them everyday, often work closely with them.... Who wants to gear up for an argument everyday before going to work. Such individuals have included racists, both White and Black varieties, stoners, young punks, hard-core feminists, and ghetto pieces of trash (The last one was even honest about being what she was, yet had no plans to even try to better herself).

No.... Sometimes it is everyone else that's the problem. If you have to constantly show others special consideration instead of the other way around..... Yeah, it's them. Not you.

Better late then never, some don't get it ever.

I read this on another forum and thought it was good, it's in regards to work or providing services.

Good, Fast, Cheap.....pick any two.

Never try to teach a pig to sing.
It only wastes your time, and annoys the pig.

That is so stupid that it's funny. I just picture one with a "treat" in hand asking the pig to...."come on, sing like you did before while I wasn't filming this!"

Nothing good ever comes after "Hold my beer and watch this..."

I often use the "Quality, speed, cost" pick 2 version of this. I believe this is a form of law used in finance.

I remember an article in Discover magazine where the author criticized NASA's new vision of "better, faster, cheaper" as circumventing this basic law and pointed how miserably they failed to understand it by crashing a billion(?) dollar rover on Mars.

Yup... never trust anyone with your beer!
