Quote #135, 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 #135....

"Listen to the MUSN'TS child, listen to the DON'TS, listen to the SHOULDN'TS, the IMPOSSIBLE'S, the WON'TS. Listen to the NEVER HAVES, then listen close to me---anything can happen child, ANYTHING can be.

-Shel Silverstein-

For all the doomsayers in the world.. take that! To all the negative nellies out there , read this and weep.

If someone says you can't do something, that you THINK you can do.. they better have a darn good reason why THEY THINK you can't. Here's why..Ive found, if you do your homework, preperation, and you have passion and excitement, coupled with some true BELIEF .. you can accomplish darn near ANYTHING you want.

Mom used to say.. "where there's a will, there's a way". At 9 years old, I didn't truly understand her. I now know, crystal clear, exactly what she meant.

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

Here goes blog quote #134....

"Start every day with a smile, and get it over with.
-W.C.Fields-

I love this quote.It's got wit. It's almost a tongue twister. It's got some sarcasm in it, while still hammering the point home.

The point is...Smile. Today! Why the heck not?

After you satisfy the request, you can go about your own miserable old self...... or maybe not. The smile could turn the tide, to the bright side.

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

Here goes blog quote #133....

"Some people spend so much time logged onto their computer, that they are more at risk of getting a computer virus than a real one."
-Anonymous-

Ever hear of the word MODERATION? Everything in moderation is good; even moderation. Excess of anything usually leads to bad things such as boredom, or mistakes, or addiction, or complacency, etc etc.

At Smile-Therapy, because of what I do, I'm online more than I'd like to be. But let's take this quote further than the word computer. Substitute Ipod, or cellphone or blackberry in place of 'computer'. Some people literally can't go 14 minutes without these devices. Again moderation, in everything is suggested. Beware of technological gadgets controling your world.

Quote #132, 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 #132....

"If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good."
-Dr. Seuss-

So, I got all excited about Dr. Seuss, and I had to find some of his words to the wise. Here is my interpretation of this quote.

Have you tried anything new lately? When I say new, I'm talking something you have never done before?

If not.. why not? Perhaps it's time to try something new. Stretch. Get out of your comfort zone.

You never know what you may be missing out on until you try something. Probably 80% of the time, your glad that you tried something new(anyone want to comment on my 80% guess?).

Live a little. As my friend Greg P says.. "Your dead a long , long time."

Quote #131, 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 #131....

"Paper and ink are all but trash, if I cannot find the thought that the writer did think."
-Walter Smith-

Almost sounds Dr Seuss-ish doesn't it? As I was looking up quotes on trash for another article I was writing, I stumbled across this one.

It made me ask myself.. how well am I communicating when I'm writing? Are you readers able to figure out the points I am trying to get across? Do you really get the gist of what I'm trying to convey to you.

Part of the fun of the Think Tank is that each of us can interpret a quote in a very different way. I hope that at least after you read the quote and my comments.. you know how I interpreted it.Im doing my best to communicate exactly what I'm thinking to your reading minds. Hope I'm doing well.....

Quote #130, 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 #130....

"It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't."
- President Martin Van Buren-

This quote parallels the comment.. 'if you don t have the time to do a job right, when will you find the time to do a job over?' Both statements make a very good point.

What do you suppose is the main reason WHY the job isn't done right in the first place? Is it laziness? Is it just that the job was hurried? Potential incompetence? Other?

Whatever the reason.. Van Buren is pretty sure that in most cases there will be 'some explaining' to do. On top of that, its likely, not alot of good can come out of the improperly done task.
Message:: Do it right, and on the FIRST TIME.

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