We all have dreams. Rich people, poor people, young people, old people handicapped people, etc...it is human nature to have a goal that results in each individuals most desired happiness. I ask then, why are you not pursuing that dream of yours, for if you wish to be happy by your standard then let no obstacle stall your way. Truly, the future is unwritten, and it is your own story you are writing, so make sure you capture your dream. Success is always wanted, often pursued, but mostly abandoned, because it is "too hard". Go forth everyone, and don't let life flow by. You will reach your destination of desire and it will be more blissful than Heaven itself- anonymous

When I was 16 years old and going through a "smart ass" phase, my Dad told me "Son, you're smarter right now than you'll ever be in your life."
Being so smart, I actually took it as a compliment!

Good thread you have going, I have a couple my father used.
When people say it's not about the money it's about the principal, it's about the money.
Figures don't lie but liars use figures.

........
.
On his death bed, Alexander the Great summoned his army generals and

told them his three ultimate wishes:

1. The best doctors should carry his coffin ...

2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones)should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery ....

3. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see !!

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked

Alexander to explain .

Here is what Alexander the Great had to say :

1. "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death , even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal .."

2. "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth , will stay on earth.."

3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty
handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is: TIME.

A couple more from my Dad

(If you put a worm in water the worm thrives, if you put a worm in whiskey the worm will die, so if you drink whiskey you'll never have worms.)

(You can't make ice cream out of horse $hit.) I no longer believe this statement to be true, I believe are politicians found a way and serve it up daily.

A man that's never fallen has never tried, for the true character of a man is his willingness to stand back up.

I told my son once: it's hard to soar with eagles with your pants down around your thighs.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.

I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Dr. Seuss

I use -(Life's problems don't seem so big if you look at them from the other end of the telescope.) I took this from his second quote years ago.
