Written By Me:
"Believe not your eyes, but your mind."
Your eyes can be easily decieved by a small child in a costume or a false photo thats been edited. Your mind can only be fooled by itself.
"Dont take your time. Enjoy it."
Obviously this means to take nothing for granted.
"A problem is not a problem. Its a reminder."
A problem that cannot be fixed does not exist. It just may be the man to fix it may not exist himself yet.
"Life is not fair. But it is still fun."
This is not always true of course. But somtimes it is. Cherish those moments.
"Have fun with your life. No Refunds."
Unless you believe in reincarnation. Though, if you had fun in all of your lives, think of the stories you could tell.
"Optimism. Its a blessing."
For life is much more enjoyable. even if deluded.
"Do things for yourself or you wont be happy."
A lesson we probably all have learned.
"Always there will be a problem. Dont ignore it. But dont worry either."
Life is full of problems. If you have a anxiety attack on each one, youll never make it.
"Normal is a false pretense. We just have different levels of Insanity."
Ah this is so true.
"I do not suffer from insanity. I enjoy it."
My motto! :)
"Foolproof-> Proof that you are a fool."
Never count on anything to be perfect.
"Get things done. Dont whine."
You have to get it done sooner or later. Though if you whine you may have to do it with a sore throat.
"Every question has an answer. But there are times you need to understand the question first."
A thought resulting from Douglas Adams hitchiker series. (A very good and humorous read.)
"Trust nobody. But love them."
Ah. war and love. Trust nobody is somthing myself might disagree with now. But be careful with trust its dangerous.
"Some questions should be asked. But the answers should remain silent."
Like why am I here. Will the world end... Somtimes the question is alot more informative then the actual answer
"If you dont get it the first time. You did it wrong."
Does not mean you can not try again.!
"Feel sorry for others? Put yourself in their shoes."
They could use the break. And then you may end up feeling sorry for yourself!
"Perfection is when your content."
Perfection in imperfection. The truth of love. Life and everything. Chaos in order. Order in Chaos.
"Dont be afraid to make friends. They can help when you try not to make enemies."
Im sure we all can learn from this.
"The fewest words of wisdom are priceless to even the richest man."
Ah yet they are invaluable to even the poorest man. Both men shall bathe in gold. with a word of wisdom in they're mind.
"If you keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will lessen your chances of putting them in your mouth."
Sadly your foot will find a way sooner or later. It happens to the best of them.
