Spotted this today..How true...

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver"

Some great words here.

Myself, I have to keep reminding myself of the old special services motto: "Who Dares Wins"

Its pretty simple and may even seem glib these days ... but with no risk comes no reward.

Overcoming adversity can seem like losing excess weight.
- it is not immediate
- it takes patience
- it takes discipline
- it takes time
- it takes effort
- it takes sacrafice
But it is a must.......

The act of a GO GETTER is the intention for success. To be a GO GIVER is proof of success.

Cant give what you haven't got. So give yourself love, time, respect, compassion, and occasionally spoil yourself.

Think Stone Age, not New Age:
sex is primordial, the meek do not inherit the earth, and never apologize for what you want.

There used to be an ad agency (a very good one too) that launched itself with a very simple effective campaign in the 80s. It said, "The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth. Bollocks!. "

And the rest as they say was hysteria. They went on to many great effective campaigns and disbanded.

The Peter Principle:
Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails.

ie in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence", meaning that employees tend to be promoted for being good at their jobs until they reach a position at which they cannot work competently and there they'll remain.

I may be drunk Sir, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Winston Churchill said that in reply to a Member of Parliament who told him he should be ashamed for being drunk in the Parliament Lounge. One of the greatest replies of all time.

Yes sunyun that is part one of the many great verbal jousts he had with Nancy Astor . One of my favourites is
Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”

Some VERY good 'Pearls of Wisdom' there. My dear departed Mother always told me... "believe ALL of what you SEE, half of what you READ... And NONE of what you 'Hear'
