qoute for tha day

[jimLE]

Last year I replaced several windows in my house and they were
the expensive double-pane energy-efficient kind.

This week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his
work has been completed for a whole year and I had yet to pay
for them.

Boy, oh boy, did we go 'round. Just because I'm getting old
doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy
had told me last year...

"that in one year the windows would pay for themselves."

There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up
and I haven't heard back.

Guess I must have won that silly argument.

If you don't step forward
You are always in the same place.

If you don't ask
The answer is always NO.

If you don't go after what you want,
You'll never have it.

It's not enough to simply know something
We got to do something with what we know.

The Latter Part
=====================
According to Ecclesiastes, sooner or later, for every one of us,

"The sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark,
the clouds return after the rain."

We are all subject to the merciless and inevitable order of this
life, in which the young and the beautiful wither and the strong
grow weak.

Yet there is more to this life.

There are certain human qualities that seem to go the other way.

As the physical frame ages and bears the consequences of life's
struggles and passage of time, these qualities grow, increase,
and flourish, and really start to blossom only at the later part
of a long life.

Daddy's Gonna Eat Your Fingers
===========================================
This one is for all who:
a) have kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) know a kid!

As I was packing for my business trip, my 3-year old daughter
was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point,
she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny
fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your fingers!"
pretending to eat them before I rushed out of the room again.

When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed staring at
her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, "What's wrong, honey?"

She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

It is easier to prepare and prevent, than to repair and repent,
Remember; when a disaster strikes, the time to prepare has passed

The difference between today and your future is information. If you don't learn anything new today, tomorrow will be just like today. This means that you won't have a future, just a longer day. Your future is in your discovery.
You should learn something new every day.

I had a power outage last week and the TV, PC and game console wouldn't work.
Plus the outage knocked out the cell tower and my mobile wouldn't work either
and I couldn't call, text, Facebook, tweet or Instagram. So I talked to my
spouse for a few hours.
They seem like a nice person

When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either
be positive or negative, an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to
be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective.

Where do you get all these wonderful words of wisdom?

 

[jimLE]

brent,i get daily emails with diff sayings and/or quotes..and here's one of them..

The Philosopher
=======================
I saw him sitting in his door,
Trembling as old men do;
His house was old; his barn was old,
And yet his eyes seemed new.

His eyes had seen three times my years
And kept a twinkle still,
Though they had looked at birth and death
And three graves on a hill.

"I will sit down with you," I said,
"And you will make me wise;
Tell me how you have kept the joy
Still burning in your eyes."

Then like an old-time orator
Impressively he rose;
"I make the most of all that comes,
The least of all that goes."

The jingling rhythm of his words
Echoes as old songs do,
Yet this had kept his eyes alight
Till he was ninety-two.

~by Sara Teasdale~

I've always found peace in the thought that no matter what man does to this planet, pollution, radioactive waste, etc., after we are extinct and a million years or so, all will be washed clean again with no trace of our mess.
