Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

      That’s the plan. Can’t you just see it?

      “Um, my mom made me see interesting places in the world… and made me make up my own mind about what I believe after hearing both sides of the story… and let me find (or helped me find) interesting ways of learning the things I needed or wanted to learn…”

      Oh this kid is just so going to need years of therapy because he won’t fit in to the general dysfunction around him.

      What a great idea! Man, I could have gone almost an hour without hearing “Mom, we’re bored” and I missed it?!

      I’m saving this one for next year!
