Thursday Thirteen..Wisdom


13 Things I Wish I Had Learned Earlier In Life!

  1. Learn from the mistakes of others; you don't have enough time to make them all yourself!
  2. The number of people watching you is dircectly proportional to the stupidity of your action.
  3. You always find something in the last place you look.
  4. A friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself.
  5. When others are happy, be happy with them.
  6. Good judgment comes from experience; and experience, well, that comes from bad judgement.
  7. A closed mouth gathers no feet.
  8. There's nothing wrong with having nothing to say, as long as you don't say it out loud.
  9. I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
  10. If ignorance is bliss, whay aren't more people happy?
  11. Kindess consists in loving people more than they deserve.
  12. We do not remember days, we remember moments. Make moments worth remembering.
  13. If I can be of any help, you're in worse trouble than I thought!

I wish more people would learn #8. It scares me sometimes that people don't realize what it is they are (or aren't) saying when they speak.

Melli said...

Awwww... there ya go again! Makin' me learn something! I love #7... and number 3 has always confounded me! OF COURSE it's in the last place you look! You QUIT lookin' once you FIND it! #9 SCARES me... cuz I don't! And number 13 scares me too!

But #1 reminds me of a poem I wrote when Amanda was being bullheaded one time... and I'm going to share it on my blog one day soon. Thanks to you!

My dad always said that you always find something in the last place you look for it... because then you stop looking!

He also told me to eat the watermelon from the center to the outside because "that was each bite will be the best taste you have." Of course I don't do it that way... I eat the outside first and keep that center sweet goodness for the end.

Robin said...

I love those! #2, 7 and 10 are my favorites.

Happy TT (well Friday now) and thanks for stopping by my blog.
