Pearls of Wisdom

SlowMotion321

We all know a couple we have picked up over the years, pieces of advice given to us or read somewhere, I have a few...

My mother :"Inform yourself to the best of your ability and vote your conscience!"

My father :"Never sit down at a game of poker with more money than you're prepared to lose!"

I have more but what are yours?

Think ahead. Don't be a dick.

Never trust a fart;
Never waste a erection;
And if you go to bed with an itchy butt,
you'll wake up with a stinky finger.

In certain situations it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt........

People are not thinking about you, as much as you want to believe.

When I was a young fella and not with the best of confidence.Whenever I was to do something out of my comfort zone.I'd come up with all kinds of reasons why not to do it.But my uncle once said to me,"You've told me all the reasons why you can"t,Now tell me how you can".Always stuck with me.

A good one. At some stage in my twenties I started to realize it was the things I didn't do that I regretted, not the things I did. So I developed a "feck it, go for it/do it" mentality.
