Some choice survival thoughts...

These are just some of my favorite sayings, thoughts or musings that help me survive.  I do not take ownership of these.  Many come from other people or places, but I simply do not remember when or who now.  My apologies. 

Choosing one alternative does NOT mean the other is wrong.

When confronted with a problem, pick no more than three courses of action.  Weigh each one carefully, then pick one.  ACT.

There is no problem so large that, if ignored long enough, it will not go away.

There is no problem so small that it won't come up again.

Punctuality is the politeness of kings.

You only have to run faster than the slowest person.

No matter what you hear behind you, do NOT look back or slow down.

When moving through a theatre, never stop to argue with a local.

Never steal more than you need.  (I use "steal" in a metaphorical way here.  I mean steal "fair and square".  I do not actually suggest you "shoplift" or illegally "steal" anything.)

Never climb up something you cannot climb down.

Don't break anything, don't hurt anybody.  Everything else can be fixed.

Eat dessert first.

Food should be free.  (I know this is problematic, but it is true.)

You break it, you bought it.

Property owns you.

Try not. Do, or do not.  There is no try.  - Yoda
