    Caddyshack is the greatest comedy of all time, and if you know someone who disagrees they are too young to spend your time arguing with.

    never appeal to a man's better nature. he may not have one. invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
    -- from the notebooks of lazarus long (robert heinlein)

    you have control over three things -- what you think, what you say, and how you behave. to make a change in your life, you must recognize that these gifts are the most powerful tools you possess in shaping the form of your life.
    -- sonya friedman

    adversity gives us opportunities to grow. and we usually get what we work for. if we have problems and overcome them, we grow tall in character.

    Never resurrect threads.
    - me

    People are never more serious than when they're joking.
    - my mum

    Dude, my mom was jokingly hurtful alll the time...oh...*sobs*

    ETA: 1.) You can't change what someone does or how he/she feels/thinks. All you can change is yourself.

    and

    2.) Cut and run while you still can.

    If it excites you and scares the hell out of you at the same time, it probably means you should do it.

    Be slow to speak...
    You can do anything you set your mind to do...
    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's most likely a duck...
    If you live your entire life caring about others opinions of you, you'll never be happy.

    “People get stuck, thinking they are one kind of person, but they aren’t … The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were in February.” - Donald Miller

    Don't sweat the small stuff - I know cliche, but reality is the little things don't matter that much. It is the big things we do that count.

    No one ever died because a dirty dish was left in the sink - Me. There are things more important than a Perfectly Clean House (like playing a game with your kid or exercising)

    Work is just a job, Friends and Family are the what matters.

    Enjoy NOW! Tomorrow may not come, yesterday is past.

    Most have quotes from someone, but for its not about Quotes its about what you learn from the words.

    Two favorite quotes:

    “It’s better to be a broken jade, than a whole stone.”
    -- My dad always told me this growing up since I struggled with my weight and ethnicity.


    "I wanted a perfect ending.
    Now I've learned, the hard way,
    that some poems don't rhyme,
    and some stories don't have
    a clear beginning, middle, and end.

    Life is about not knowing,
    having to change,
    taking the moment
    and making the best of it,
    without knowing what's going to happen next.
    Delicious Ambiguity."

    Cheers!

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.. That way, when you do, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    since I was a child my mom always told my sister and I that women never need men , that women are just as powerful & important. That our feelings--no matter what they are -- as women are valid and we are always enough~

    "Theres an incredible ride out there called life. You may need to hold on to every path it takes you .... but never let go of what defeats fear. The excitement of happiness starts in the beginning but the feeling of completeness ends when that ride is over. By then, you know for sure that you have conquered something that was well worth it in exchange for enticing results."
