Since my agreement with SandRodent about my posting to the list being
dependent on the NYSE average, the market took a 1 1/2% plunge. SO I am
OBLIGATED to send out some email. I decided to make it something quoted by
Ann Landers, I thougth it might be helpful, entertaining, and worth typing
until my fingers fall off: (listening to 100's of voices saying YESSSSSS!!!!)
Here goes...it is a list presented to a high school graduating class of '97:
1. Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember, most stuff is small.
2. The most boring word in any language is "I".
3. Nobody is indispensable, especially you.
4. Life is full of surprises, just say "never" and you'll see.
5. People are more important than things.
6. Persistence will get you almost anything eventually.
7. Nobody can make you happy. Most folks are about as happy as they make up
their minds to be.
8. There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of
us, that is doesn't behoove any of us to talk about the rest of us.
9. Live by what you trust, not by what you fear.
10. Character counts. Family matters.
11. Eating out with small children isn't worth it, even if someone else is
buying.
12. If you wait to have kids until you can afford them, you probably never
will.
13. Baby kittens don't begin to open their eyes for six weeks, men generally
take about 26 years.
14. The world would run a lot smoother, if more men knew how to dance.
15. Television ruins more minds than drugs.
16. Sometimes there is more to gain in being wrong than right.
17. Life is so much simpler when you tell the truth.
18. People who do the world's real work don't usually wear neckties.
19. A good joke beats a pill for a lot of ailments.
20. There are no substitutes for fresh air, sunshine, and excersize.
21. A smile is the cheapest way to improve your looks, even if you have
crooked teeth.
22. May you live life so there is standing room only at your funeral.
23. Mothers always know best, but sometimes fathers know, too.
24. Forgive yourself, your friends, and your enemies. You're all only human.
25. If you don't do anything else in life, love someone, and let someone
love you.
Well, my fingers are still hanging on, by a thread, but I think anyone can
find some value to at least 90% of that list. The only one I really disagree
with, is the one about eating out with children, I had some of the best fun
when eating out with my children, and other people's children too, you just
have to go to a noisy place, with lots of other children, and wear a raincoat
throughout the meal! Have a good evening/morning/whatever it is where ever
you live! ken B
