If it isn't broke, then it must be duct taped.

Go ahead, share you words of wisdom.

No! No try. Do or do not. There is no try.

I realize that the chance of a miracle, while infitesimally small, is not exactly zero.

I have faith that tomorrow holds new technology that will release me from all the obligations I have today.

Do not put off what you should do today until tomorrow, if there is any chance it could be forgotten about forever.

If you build a boat, you may be known as a boat builder. If you build a house, you may be known as a house builder. But if you **** one goat... that shite lasts longer the a DeBeers diamond.

I used to be apathetic and indifferent but now I'm not sure if I really care.

What if D-O-G really spelled cat?


Think about it people.

Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.

Wise words from Doyle...

The outcome of a hand is determined by the thickness of a card.

Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react.

I like that one.

Yeah, that's always been my favorite. When I was younger (13/14) I was going through a rough stretch, and an older man I knew, who was kind of an uncle figure I'd gotten to know through sports and some similar interests, pulled me aside.

He had 3 kids, one of whom had died in a car wreck a few years earlier, and another of whom had been born with autism. His wife was battling cancer (successfully). He was a very good man who'd had some very bad things happen to him, through no fault of his own. I was always shocked how incredibly positive and... happy, I guess... he was. When I asked him about it, he just smiled at me, looked me in the eyes and told me:

"Derek, I've had some bad breaks. But why would I dwell on them? I mourned for my sons, and I cried for my wife. But I realize that happiness and contentment are not issues of luck or chance; happiness is a choice, a determination to react to circumstance in such a manner that contentment must surely follow and despair will never- CAN never- triumph over the human spirit. Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react. Remember that."

And I have.

This is quite possibly the only serious post I've ever seen Wang post and it is still just as good as his funny ones. NH sir.

I hate to use a poker metaphor but...

Life is like a game of poker. Determinism is what cards you're dealt. Free will is how you play em.

And from Einstein,

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Never heard that one before. I really like it.

Too smart for me... I don't know WTF determinism means! I've had a few though, but probably either way.

Another of my personal favorites. NH

Hold on to good things for as long as life will let you

Before it's a game, it's an athletic competition.

Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven

The afternoon knows what the morning never expected.

I've only heard that the other way around.

Read more. Post less.

you're really following that one (sw)

i guess i should actually post up a serious one, since i started this thing.


if you're too scared of failure, then you'll never have the courage to succeed.

If there's one thing I learned from 4+ yrs of college....














....sometimes "NO!" means "YES!"....

YES! good one.

Better to be hungry and free than satisfied and enslaved.

Stay out of jail.

if you're attractive enough on the outside, people will ignore the fact that you're irritating to the core.

And you might be the nicest guy ever, but that won't help you that much in gettin laid.

If I was blacked out it didn't happen

Fat you can change, ugly is forever.

On a more serious note:
"It's not what you did, but what you didn't do that you'll regret the most."

Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.

Don't be a douche.

"But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. " Vince Lombardi

words of wisdom my grandfather gave my mother, then she passed on to me.

Don't shit_ where you eat.
You get nothing for nothing.
Nobody cares.

these are cynical words to live by.


he also told me 20 years ago

Scared money never wins.



My own personal take.

if you can't come in her, come on her.

"Comparisions are odious" - some French philosopher

I've always been a fan of " he who smelt it dealt it"

"Jacks suck!"

Einstein once said, "Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater."

For some reason, I've always really liked this quote. Whenever I come across something in life that I can't figure out right away, I find that it encourages me to think harder and work harder. It prevents me from getting frustrated from the initial perception of impossibility of certain problems and reassures me that all things are possible with a certain amount of effort and ingenuity. After all, I think, even Einstein wasn't invulnerable to challenges, so my shortcomings are understandable.

I'm not sure if that was the point of what he said, but that's how I think about it.

QFT



I think I just found my new signature line...well said!

Never give girls nicknames like Jumbo or Boxcar ... and always get receipt, makes you look like a business guy.

Life is not tried, it's just merely survived if you're standing outside the fire.




A song lyric actually, but a good sentiment to live by regardless.

I've gotta agree with Jack Strauss:

"Better one day as a lion than a lifetime as a lamb."

If you don't like her, don't **** her.

Life in a pillow is like a lonely horse without a shoe.

If you don't say anything, you won't say the wrong thing.

Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.
