One sentence. Sometimes it's hysterical, irrelevent, or whatever.

It lingered in you, and it shapes who you are most days.

Share it with us, so that we too may swim in its terse wisdom.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes, because then you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Thank you Mr. Handy.

If you make something a Priority you can achieve whatever it is you are chasing.

Set a goal and do one thing everyday toward that goal, soon you will have achieved your goal.

Actually my dad had a lot of great sayings:

"Hustle forgives a multitude of sins."
"It's easy to get in the doghouse and hard to get out."
"Memorize Yes Dear, You're Right, I'm sorry...whether you mean it or not."
"Never fall in love with your employer because he'll screw you if he has to."
"Losers have team meetings, winners just win."

"Live today as if it's your last"

There was a horrible car accident my sophomore year in high school killing 2 of my best friends. Never will I forget the call when it happened. My best friends mother at the time told me this. I lived by it ever since.

It's a common quote, but it's one I'll take serious. My life has changed since Mike and Jeff died. I look at life differently, don't hold nothing back.
