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.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

How are you going to pay for all this?

“How are you going to pay for all this?” - Watto, Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace

I dropped off Dad Windu’s car at the repair shop yesterday. The one that we put into storage for the summer. It has a few ‘issues‘ that need to be taken care of, such as a horrid screeching noise coming from the front, a grinding noise that greets every right turn, a shifter that wants to stay firmly in the Park position first thing every morning, a slow leak in one of the tires, and a gas tank that doesn’t want to let the nozzle at the gas station know that the tank is full. A gasoline waterfall is what all the cool cars are wearing these days. And once the car was up on the lift, the mechanic found that both springs on the front suspension were broken.

Yeah.

Oh, and next week I get to take my car in for repairs.

Double yeah.

End of year bonus in. End of year bonus out.
