Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

Ten Rules of Life

These may sound funny, but they're quite true....

1. Never give yourself a haircut when drinking.

2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.

3. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

4. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately -- it's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

5. The best advice that your mother ever gave you was, "Go! You might meet somebody!"

6. If they say you are too good for him/her, believe them.

7. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? One month? One week? One day?"

8. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

9. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship may mean the other person was right about you.

10. You can't demand something as a "right" unless you are willing to fight to death to defend everyone else's right to the same thing.
