Five Rules to Remember in Life

Postby kham » Mon May 30, 2016 3:47 am

Seen here and there...

1. Forgive your enemy, but remember the Bastard's Name

2. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle

3. Help someone when they are in trouble, and they will remember you when they are in trouble again

4. Many people are alive, only because it is illegal to shoot them

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk

These should assist you with most daily decision choices


I see no flaws in the logic here.... :twisted:

Three rules:

1. Never eat at a place called "Mom's."

2. Never play poker with anybody named "Doc."

3. And never, ever sleep with anybody who has more problems than you do.

I would add in something about not working too hard. A good work ethic is important but I doubt anyone ever died wishing they'd spent more time at the office.....

Yep. Granddad was one of the hardest-working people I ever met, but he balanced himself. He even said stuff like how his worst day fishing was better than his best day working. His other advice:

"Life is too short to do something you hate for a living." (Still working on that, Granddad.)

"Hard work never killed anybody; still, it doesn't pay to take chances."

"I'm not afraid of work; heck, I can lie down next to a pile of it and go to sleep."

"Half a loaf is better than no rest at all." :)
