THINGS THAT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN -
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has
not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be
"meetings."
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
People who want to share their religious views with you almost never
want you to share yours with them.
You should not confuse your career with your life.
Never lick a steak knife.
The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
reason why we observe daylight savings time.
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from her at that moment.
There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that deep down
inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice
person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
Your friends love you anyway.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur
built the ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to
women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something
acceptable to have dinner with.
