Today, in policing the house, I uncovered more than a half dozen of these primitive Palm Pilots. I set myself to purging any page that had writing on it, saving only the aforementioned random thoughts. Most of them, I think, are original and they are listed here:
- You can’t be getting your nails done and cry poor at the same time.
- I’m a little ticked off about anger management.
- Being stupid protects people from getting old.
- If you set the bar just so, everybody can do excellent.
- Lord, grant me the enough wealth to be enlightened, but enough creature comforts to not have to bother.
- The less well read a person is, the more sure they are of their beliefs.
- Decisio-terrorism: The act of sabotaging a decision arrived at through group consensus.
- Arrange the facts to support the conclusion.
- How do we avoid what happened before and what do we create when we do?
- Not all who grow grapes should make wine.
- The end of an appointment cannot be before it starts.
- The closer they are to chickens, the better children will behave.
- The grass may not be greener, but you still may want to hop that fence and chew on it a while.
- Defensible decisions receive support because they are defensible decisions - not because somebody asks for the support from colleagues or underlings.
- People, forever, will fall short of expectations they do not know exist.
- Where does a UPS truck go to die?
- Get even: be the reason the other line moves much faster.
- Prosperity is not what one can afford, but what one can afford to give away.
- I was workin’ on learnin’ a song when you walked through the door.
- There are 100 routes from here to there. Just find ‘em. Heck, just find one.
- An idea, well proffered, moves giants.
THE GOOD NEWS is that I now have eight or nine little notebooks with varied numbers of blank pages in each; all ready for more service in support of my weakened faculty for remembering a thought. Or a grocery list.
..but how do you write such thoughtful stuff from astride the GS @ 60+ MPH? Fun read. Thanks
