Is a Sense of Humor Important?

Blog quote #802...

"We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh." -Agnes Repplier-

How big does a sense of humor really play in our relationships? Clearly there is some sort of link to connecting with people, and sharing some laughs with them. 

Some people, are just too darn serious and consequently not much fun to be around. Hey, we aren't getting out of this world alive anyway, so as Sgt. Hulka once said in the movie 'Stripes,'  "Lighten up, Francis"

What do you make of Ms. Repplier's statement? 

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

The problem with Liar's

Blog quote #801...

"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."  -George Bernard Shaw-

Sometimes the fate of irony can be pretty cruel.  

I believe Shaw is onto something very true to the core here. It must stink that nobody believes a liar, even when they ARE in fact, telling the truth. 

But because of their conniving nature--they instinctively have the lack of trust in others. Tough one to live with, but as the saying goes...'When you lie down with dogs,you get fleas.' Anyone else agree here with Shaw?

A Stinky View--on Pessimism

Blog quote #800...

"How happy are the pessimists! What joy is theirs if/when they have proved there is no joy?"  -Marie Eber-Eschenbach-

As we've suggested in the past.. there is  hardly a reason( if any) to be a pessimist. Lots of downside, and zero upside. This statement from Marie flows right along with the "out to the garbage with pessimism, and the attitudes that go with it."

Just say NO, to pessimism. That is of course, unless you WANT to be miserable.

Anyone Trying to Lose Weight?

Blog quote #799...

"I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book. I even tried eating the book. It tasted better than most of the diets." -Dolly Parton-

Some advice, from the great country singer. Well not really, but it was pretty funny and made the point that most diets don't work, because they taste so awful.

Perhaps try to find one that's actually something you can work with for an extended period of time. Think lifestyle change.

Lifes Potholes...

Blog quote #798...

"If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." -Frank Clark-

Every road has it's challenges. Expect to go through a few bumps.  

There is no path that always has the wind behind it's back. It's just life. Enjoy the smooth parts, and prepare to deal with the potholes.

Why is NEW so scary?

Blog quote #797...

"One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea." -Walter Bagehot-

On the surface this seems like a strange statement. Yet, people don't like change. They claim to be too busy and don't care to try something foreign to them, or want to take on a different project. New to them is unknown, a risk, maybe not reliable.

Of course on the other side, new is  creative ideas. New is innovative. Or new could be considered better, or faster, or wiser,or fresher?

Look at new as new. Think about this--how would anything ever get improved in life if we never sought out the new? Give it a chance...

Using ALL the BRAINS you can get...

Blog quote #796...

"I use not only all the brains I have, but all I can borrow."   -Woodrow Wilson, 28th president-

The fact is, nobody can do/accomplish it all on their own. Use your talents to the fullest, yes. 

But also take others great ideas and discoveries, be absolutely certain--to give them credit--and promptly make the world a better, more improved place.

Vroommmmm...
