Quote #165, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

I love Quotes. I love them because they make me think. What does the quoter mean? Why did he/she write this? Is there a message to get through to the reader/the world? What did YOU initially think when you read it?

Here goes blog quote #165....

"The person who knows everything has a lot to learn."
-Anonymous-

Well this doesn't make any sense? Why would the person who knows it all need to keep learning, let alone much more?

Maybe there isn't such a thing?.. a "know it all". Interesting, as, once in a while, you meet someone who thinks they have the answers to everything. Pretty obnoxious, huh?

This quote is actually opposite of another very saavy quote I heard that is oxymoronish, yet it makes sense. "The more I learn and discover, the more I find out just how much I don t know"

Whew, confused? I am. Heck...what the heck do I know?

That's my view...... What Say You?

Here goes blog quote #164....

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
-Classic quote, famous for something-

Saw this quote this past week and thought we'd have a little FUN at the Think Tank. Isn't that what this game of life is all about,anyway? After all, this isn't your average, boring, plain old quote blog.

So, what is the significance of this little 35 word, single sentence quote? As a footnote: English majors and grammar teachers may have a slight advantage.

To be fair, anyone KNOWING the answer.. email me at creator@smile-therapy.com so we don't give away the answer in the comments.

That's my view...... What Say You?

Here goes blog quote #163....

"Oh, you should never, never doubt...what nobody is sure about."
-Willy Wonka-

That witty, wonderfully charming, sometimes oxymoronish, yet sarcastic Chocolate Factory owner. One of my all time favorite movies. Expect more quotes from WW.

My only comment on Wonka's quote is.... to be sure you think you know what he might be definitely saying. Errr what?

Here goes blog quote #162....

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day, you don't look at it and wish you painted something different."
-Author Unknown-

Too bad we don't know the author, as this is a masterpiece. So, what I read from this is.... I am in control of how my picture( my day) is forcasted. I am in control of how today's portrait will be painted(how the day plays out). Sure there will be interruptions, complications, and unexpected twists and turns. That's life, and it's dealt with as it comes up.

Even more exciting; when tomorrow comes, I get to tear the sheet off in front of me, and re-do my drawing for the upcoming day. When looked at this way.. we have more control than we ever imagined. This is where ATTITUDE plays a BIG, BIG role. Hmm.. what will I paint tomorrow? What will YOU paint tomorrow? Get those writing utencils out and ready!

That's my view...... What Say You?

Here goes blog quote #161....

"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth"
-Shira Tehrani-

This is one of the most frustrating ,yet coolest things about life.... no one knows when their number is called to enter the pearly gates 'upstairs'. However, as Tehrani suggests, all of us can control what we do, and how we act and live, when we are here.

For those of you who know me..my living mantra is overly simplistic....
Work hard, have fun, help others, and make people SMILE. Hopefully the width and depth of my life will be significant, at least for others who come in contact with me.

How about your width and depth?

Quote #160, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

I love Quotes. I love them because they make me think. What does the quoter mean? Why did he/she write this? Is there a message to get through to the reader/the world? What did YOU initially think when you read it?

Here goes blog quote #160....

"The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?"
-Pablo Casals-

England Dan and John Ford Coley once sung.. 'Light up the world, shine on me, love is the answer'. In Tuesday's with Morrie , the ever wisdomatic Morrie Schwarz says "if we do not have love then we don't have anything at all. Love each other or perish."

Patriotism is one of the best things you can have.. LOVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY. Added to that, loving others, takes it up another notch. Can we do both? Of course we can.
