Words of Wisdom

I decided to start this thread. It cannot be anything that is on the www or a book. It needs to come from you only. It's to ponder and reflect for those who wish to. Have fun. 

 

I will kick it off. 

 

If you want to understand, listen without an agenda.

Re: Words of Wisdom

One of my favourite saying i say all the time that is also my life's moto
"you do you...... I'll do me,
and hopefully we'll live together in harmony"

Re: Words of Wisdom

Another one
You never know the story behind someone elses actions. So be kind even if they're not.

Re: Words of Wisdom

Oh I got a few 


"The bears and the Lions do seem strong, but the wolves don't dance at the circus." 

"Don't let your emotions steer the ship, they are impulsive and narrow minded and will only lead you to ruin, besides you are a far better captain than them cos well you have hands." 

 

"If you want to know what a man is truly like then you must watch the way he interacts with those he doesn’t know and from who he has nothing to gain."

Re: Words of Wisdom

@GonePirate ohhhhh those three are good. I like them. Some things to ponder on. 

Re: Words of Wisdom

I have a lot some picked up along the ways others made by me I have printed some as postcards that decorate the back of my front door like a daily reminder me and my son use them sometimes as reminders and what not 

 

I'll pop 2 more in here today 

 

1. "Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter, try again! Fail again! Fail better! Fail smarter! And learn how to succeed!" 

2. "you must also learn from the mistakes of others you cannot possibly live long enough to make them all yourself"

 

ok one more for a bonus round 

3. "if you cannot do great things, then do normal things in a great way" this last one is an astronaut at a park sitting sketching a lighthouse hahahaha
