Back to more "Enlightened Perspective". from Andy Rooney

10. " I've learned..........that simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult."

For me, it was the walks I had with my mother, now deceased, that I remember and cherish. We usually went to the store together and stopped and had a burger at the, then new, McDonalds and just chat. That was our "alone time".

How about you?

16. I've learned..................that to ig nore the facts does not change the facts.

Sometimes, we have a hard time knowing what the "facts" really are. Facts can get lost or disquise themselves.

17. I've learned...........that when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

24. I've learned..........that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

We must learn to forgive...........let it go. Why burden our life with useless bitterness?

So............let's enjoy this climb together. We're all attached with a life-line

I have learned that what people say..doesnt mean all that much..most of the time they either want something from you or are setting you up for the kill.."words" so simple and so complex..they have the ability to ignite such strong emotions if we let them. :driving:

along-for-the-ride · Post by **along-for-the-ride** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:00 pm

Hey, guppy!

I'm sure you've heard the phrase "sticks and stones will break my bones, but word will never hurt me." That is not necessarily true. When we really care about a person, what they say to us matters. And if they are harsh, cruel, or thoughtless words, they can hurt us to the core. But, we do have to remember that they are human, and not perfect. An isolated situation can be forgiven. Nobody deserves constant cruelty, however.

I'm sure you have also heard the phrase, "a man is as good as his word." Respect is earned for people who keep their promises, who do what they say they are going to do, who are sincere. Seems like such a small thing...but in these days and times.........hard to find in people.

And finally...........

30. I've learned............that the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

That's just called meeting a deadline. I don't enjoy the pressure of a deadline, do you? But, sometimes, a deadline is a necessary evil at work. Part of the job.

I will be involved in the learning process til I die. There is always something new to learn about the world, history, other people, and myself. Sure makes life interesting....

Hey Hey Hey!

I've had the last word on this thread for about a year now. :p

From the classic film, "Casablanca":

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.

Ilsa: But, Richard, no, I... I...

Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie?

Captain Renault: I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist.

Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.

Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

Ilsa: But what about us?

Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.

Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.

Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.

[Ilsa lowers her head and begins to cry]

Rick: Now, now...

[Rick gently places his hand under her chin and raises it so their eyes meet]

Rick: Here's looking at you kid.
