If you think the grass is greener on the other side, there's probably more manure there.

With regard to the opposite sex, if you look hungry you'll starve.

Go this one from my 98 yr old Aunt Flo.....

"If you were to put all your problems in a paper bag, went to the top of a hill where others were standing with their bag of problems on the ground in front of them & a swift wind came blowing all the bags around, you would run so damn fast to pick up your bag of problems & not someone else's."

Or replace "expect", with "be prepared".

"If you are going to do something, do it right."  

Basically, don't waste your energy, if you are not going to put it to good use.

From The Bible : "Those without sin may throw the first stone upon this sinner."

From Warren Buffet : "Financial gain is usually accomplished over time by going against the grain. When people are scared...buy. When they're excited... sell."

From Jimmy Buffet : "It takes no more time to see the good side of life than the bad."

Take care of yourself and more importantly, take care of somebody else. George Carlin told me that many years ago.

Forgot about this one but remembered it when my nephew called bitching about his boss.

A long time ago I learned that if I could find out (usually from my boss's assistant who u should never forget on their birthday) what task my boss absolutely hated to do & I had the authority/skill set to assume that task, I would do it for him/her.

When it came time for them to perform the hated task, they were relieved to know someone else did it for them without being asked to do so & they no longer had that burden. Most decent bosses will take note of that & in most cases it will help your relationship with them.

A great lawyer once told me:

"always admit what you cannot deny, and always deny what you cannot admit." 

An old pimp once told me:

"many men have lost all their money because they were chasing women, but no man has ever lost his women because he was chasing money."

In a land where we LOVE to make excuses as to why we CAN'T do something....even labeling many excuses as diseases WTF.....

  * maybe try this....

 

IF you think a given task is just too tough....NO WAY CAN I DO IT..... .somewhere / somebody exists....that COULD have done it

 

Think about it....how incredibly easy we just say "fukit"......and give up 

  * just NO WAY I can lose those 15-20 lbs.......really.....no way huh?

 

I would say a high majority here...think it's impossible to win money betting on sports in the long term...." the books always win !.......when they have NEVER put in the time / effort...maybe once or twice a few extra hours or so > only to immediately conclude damm that wasn't worth it .....an_brick

 

Near my door I have a picture of Lee Hee-Ah (the 4 fingered pianist) 

  * AX yourself....where would YOU be?.....if born significantly 'mentally challenged'....'flippers' for arms...no legs beneath the knee....2 functioning fingers on each hand + many more serious issues thrown in for good measure

 

Me?....drinking beer / eating nachos....watching Andy Griffith / Gunsmoke / Rockford Files

 re-runs.....until the forklift comes to lift my 600 lb corpse outta my bedroom............an_getaway

 

She tours the world as a concert pianist...probably not gonna win the Cliburn anytime soon...but people pay to hear her play (she more than pays her own bills / supports her mother)...........since standing up / walking / breathing is difficult ....it took her FIVE years to play a single piece by Chopin.....and TEN YEARS to play Rachmaninoff  .............an_worship

The impediment to action advances action - what stands in the way becomes the way.
