I got some good advice once

take my advice

Algebra 1, my freshman year of high school (I think they now teach the same course to 4th graders): on exam day our paunchy teacher with the unruly hair, whose name escapes me now would say, “Don’t let your eyes wander.  Some one may step on them.”  And I could visualize that happening and it didn’t seem like something I would like to experience and so I never did even barely glance about.

Certain sayings smack of truth and are just good to remember.  I’ve gathered a few for you:

  • Keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.
  • Coffee…chocolate…men…some things are just better rich.
  • Don’t treat me any different than you would the queen.  Please.
  • Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.  Do not walk ahead of me, I may not follow.  Don’t walk beside me, either.  Just leave me the heck alone! (Claire Martin)

And finally:

  • “From the cradle to the grave, underwear comes first!” (Michael Fry)

Did I miss any important ones?  Be blessed! Jeanie

NOTE TO SELF: Get wisdom!  It is the principle thing.
