"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people"
-Victor Borge-

They say a smile is universal in all languages. Laughter can probably be thrown in on that as well. Make a joke, make someone laugh, and it opens up the door for some warm, friendly discussions and communication.

Why the heck not. We are all humans. We all do silly stuff. A laugh is positive. It's fun. It's a good emotion. It's a nice feeling.

So.. who can you share a laugh with today? What can you do to brighten another's life in the next 24 hours?

That's my view...what say you?

"What we do speaks so loud, that what we say, other people cannot even hear."
-Kevin Knebl-

As my friend Kevin and I were talking about life yesterday, the subject came up of people following through on what they say. Or lack there of. He then began to recite the above quote, which I thought was brilliant.

We've all heard 'Do as I say, not as I do.' Then there is the old famous "Actions speak louder than words." Lets not forget the classic "Talk is cheap." There are probably 27 other phrases that resonate with the topic here.

We agreed that both of us LISTEN to people, but more importantly, we also WATCH if their deeds match up with, and follow their word. Or, is it just fluff.

I've often told people the best characteristic I own is... my word. If I tell someone I will do something, it will be done. Period. Once you lose your word( ie your credibility), in my opinion, there isn't much left).

Kids are also very in tune with this. They may be listening to you. But don't think for a second thay aren't WATCHING you with every move you make. They are excellent little learners. And they learn from our ACTIONS more than our words.

Any doers, sayers out there?

Here's Blog Quote #413...

"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one heck of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult."
-EB White-

What a fun quote. Anyone else relate? As many of us multitask, this is a comment that should resonate with more than a few of us. I get a kick out of it because it's exactly what I try to do each day.

Help others. Change the world for one, some, or many, in some small way. And let's not forget the part about having a ball doing it. Both are equally important and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
How about you?

Thats my view...what say you?

"If you only care enough for a result, you will most certainly achieve it."
-William James-

How badly do you want it? We ve been asked the question ourselves before. We've seen it asked of athletes and other competitors in various arenas.

The experts say that if you think about it enough, and think more, and keep thinking about it, sooner or later, it will become yours. Most likely the reason is, you become laser focused on whatever you desire... and you'll think of a way HOW TO GET IT.

A word of caution which I'm certain you ve also heard before: Be careful what you wish for...because, well, you know the rest...

"You'll see it when you believe it."
-Dr Wayne Dyer-

Wait a minute. Isn't it the other way around? Don't we have to see it before we believe it?

What comes first, the chicken or the egg? HMM. Good quote here.

Perhaps Dyer suggests it's easier to see WHEN you believe...Might this be faith?

Since this is quote #411, I need some 'information' from YOU. You make the call.

That's my view...what say you?

"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."
-Author unknown-

It's not about toys or gifts or treats. It's all about the love baby. L- O- V- E.

Put another way, your presence is much more important than any presents that accompany you. Some good food for thought there.

Thats my view...what say you?

Quote #409, My Thoughts and YOUR thoughts

Here goes Blog quote #409...

"Why can't somebody give us a list of things that everybody things and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks?"
-Oliver Wendell Holmes-

HMM. There is somethig to ponder.


I always thought the world would flow a bit smoother if people really said what they thought. This , of course, in a polite and respectful manner.

So many less guessing games and so much time saved trying to figure out what the other is thinking. Truly thinking.

That's my view...what say you?
