It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end,
someone would be stupid enough to try and overtake them.
It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Who tastes dog food when it has a 'new & improved' flavour?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Old Cowboy Saying...
There are 3 kinds of men. The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence.
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Bruce Lee
If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the others here for?
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion,
for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

are subtracted from your good ones.”

"Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget.
We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody."
~ André Maurois

THE POWER TO ADJUST.
Often when we have to adjust to a person or a situation, we experience many negative thoughts. We find it difficult and tend to feel we are making this adjustment only for the other person's benefit. To adjust means to understand that nothing can be done to change a situation - it is more sensible to accept it. I adjust not because it will benefit others, but because I will benefit in the long run. This is like crossing a physical obstacle; I cannot remove it so I have to find a way around it if I am to progress.
FRANÇOIS (VI) (DUC DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD)
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out candles and fans fire.
MUHAMMAD ALI
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
“Duct tape is like the Force.
It has a light side and a dark side,

“The biggest troublemaker

"So avoid using the word very, because it's lazy. A man is not very tired. He is exhausted. Don't use very say, use morose.
Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women, -and in that endeavour, laziness will not do."
Robin Williams/ Dead Poets Society
"Guess what drives the world like nothing else does? It's passion. And it will ever remain a driving force behind all careers/professions and Nissan Patrol owners."

We are all teachers, and we are all students too.
“The greatest way to live with honor in this world

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
