Don't make other peoples problems your problems:
You'll be solving their problems as well as your own.

If you don't ask, you don't get:
Learned that from my mother.

Work smart ie never put off til tomorrow what you can get somebody else to do today:
Learned that from one of my bosses, he was a very funny guy.

Choose your friends wisely, for he who walks with a cripple will develop a limp:
Learned that from a friend who hung around with drug addicts because he thought it was cool. Nicest guy who ever lived. He was like a big brother to me when I was a smartass kid. He brought me to his home to let me watch him cook heroin in a spoon and inject it into his vein just so I would see how terrible it was. The lesson worked! He tried to kick a heroin habit by becoming an alcoholic, it didn't work. He succeeded in his 2nd suicide attempt by jumping out of a 4th floor window.

Choose a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life. Confucius

Never ask a question unless you are prepared for the wrong answer.

It takes only 5 minutes to develope a bad habit, and it could take 5 years to break it.
I learned this at tractor trailor school of all places.

I never ask a question unless I'm prepared for any answer. None are wrong, but there are some that can hurt, depending on the question asked. I don't ask if I can't take a hurtful answer. wine

Indeed I have. Indeed I have. It was worth saying twice!

Take NOTHING for granted
Because you may not have it tomorrow

When opportunity knocks at your door
At least open it and consider the options

If you are close-knit with your family
You have MUCH to be thankful for

Always respect and honor your parents
And you will not have any regrets
