When entering a room "Shoulders back,...chin up" When in a confrontation "be first,..and don't stop" When approaching a woman "if they say not interested"...say "thank God,.. I was afraid you were gonna say yes" "Break the wrist,....and walk away "
My father, who I lost at 8 years old, used to always tell me this. I think he started telling me this at like 4 years old. He would tell me- everyone is full of #$%^ and they can all go #$%% themselves. He would always ask me, what's everyone full of? And what can they all go do? I remember him just laughing and laughing when I would give him the right answers. My mother not so much. My dad was very cynical. Even 45 years later, I still think about him every day. I often wonder what he would think about the man that I became. Kinda brings a tear to my eye as I write this....
I can list a bunch of crap that I've learned from my father, bosses/mentors or even authority figures. But what I can relate to the most is Lynrd Skynrd, Simple Man.
Holy ****...my wife's name is Melissa and my Daughter is Nicki......I'm living proof your quote is 100% correct.........
1. Have faith 2. Improvise, adapt and overcome. 3. Have a positive attitude 4. Forgive, be humble, be kind 5. Appreciate and be grateful for the sacrifices made by others on your behalf 6. In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you. 7. Create lasting friendships
My dad always says these same quotes... 1. The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary 2. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things 3. The more hair you lose, the more head you get (it's a big fat lie, too)
A person's true colors are defined by what they do when they think no one is looking. When most people look back on their lives, they don't regret the things they tried and failed at as much as they regret the things they never tried at all.
No such thing as a stupid question. Should have added...except for dumb arsh hypothetical questions that start, "What if blah blah blah?"
My dad always had interesting advice. When I started riding minibikes and motorcycles, well before I was 16, he once told me, "If you get caught doing something you shouldn't on that bike, you deserve it." Fast forward to me being in my late 20s and hearing him and some buddies talking about the old times when they used to ride dirt bikes all over the county, running from the law with no license or taillight. When I said his saying back to him, he replied, "NO, I meant that if you couldn't out run the law on a dirt bike, you deserved to get caught!" I wish I had taken that meaning 15 years sooner though I never did get caught because, well, dirt bike. Dad was also the one to tell me that if I didn't ask a girl out, the answer was always, "No."
I tend to say "Figure out what you're not good at, and then don't do it." Precisely why I never went to grad school.
Ohhhh boy.... First thing that comes to mind and I've always lived by it... While 2 horses were getting it on in the barn yard Dad said Eat your beans if ya wanna be hung like that.. I love beans.
Always related to song well written message that brings me back to earth Every time I hear it also like a few covers by other bands Other things Work smart not hard Redheads are crazy stay away from them
