WE have a lifetime to learn...but can we remember?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I have learned volumes of things in my lifetime.  But, I recall just a few chapters.  (Less than that if you ask my Loving Wife. :-)  ).   Here are a few that we should remember to recall...

1) Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time!

2) There is a very thin line between 'Hobby' and 'Mental illness'.

3) You should never confuse your career with your life!

4) No matter what happens...someone will find a way to take it to seriously!

5) NOBODY cares if you can't dance...just get up and DO IT!

6) A person that is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is NOT a nice person.

7) Never lick a steak knife!

8) Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

9) When God, who created the entire Universe decides to deliver a message to humanity, his messenger will not be some guy on cable TV with a bad hair style!

10) Your REAL friends will love you anyway!

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for the `poke in the rib, William!  we all need to take ourselves a bit less seriously - and this post was worth me printing out and putting on my memo board for this coming week!  Ya, Mike...I too like number 9...and 5 should include singing!

Never even thought of doing number 1. And totally agree with number 6. Good list.

I feel #9 is tops also.  There is a lot of truth to the rest.

If your parents didn't teach you the above...learning from your mistakes could be painful.

Number 6, like Chuck states, is so true, How people treat our servers, is quite revealing.
