Creating a Value-Based Life

1. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the
human race has not achieved its full potential, that word
would be 'meetings.'

2. There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.'

3. People who want to share their religious views with you
almost never want you to share yours with them.

4. And when God, who created the entire universe with all
of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity,
He WILL NOT use as His messenger, a person on cable TV with
a bad haircut.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take
it too seriously.

7. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always
one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to
take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

8. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and
dance. If anybody cares how you dance, feel sorry for them.
They need to get a life and learn how to have fun.

9. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

10. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear
and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other
people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is
age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless
of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic
background is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that
we are above-average drivers.

13. The main accomplishment of almost all organized
protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

14. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is
not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention.
It never fails.)

15. Don't think that because a person is having fun they
are drinking to excess. Some people have fun naturally
given the moment, and you need to find out how they do it.

16. Never FRY anything naked.

17. Your friends will love you anyway.
