Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.

"Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on."

"Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours."

(Both from the 1997 Baz Lurhmann song Everbody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen). Lyrics adapted from a column in the Chicago Tribune in 1997 called "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young", one of favorite songs in my iTunes library).

an optimist is often disappointed... a pessimist is often pleasantly surprised.

Man against Nature...the battle of the centuries. Keys yearn to mix with change. Mandolins strive to get out of tune. Every order has within it the germ of destruction. All order is doomed, yet the battle is worthwhile"

My father always said to me to make the best of what you have. Do not dwell on the things you could possibly do with what you will never have.
It is pointless chasing a mirage while ignoring the reality you inhabit. Your mind and/or brain is the most complicated object in the Universe. So use it to gain knowledge, the most valuable possession you will ever have!

Happiness is the state of that mind. And only you control it.

I wish I could do better but that would go against my own advice.

Never think more about the Past- it brings Tears...
Dont think more about the Future- it brings Fears...
Live for this second - it brings cheers.
