Think. Act

You should think before you act. This is sound advice that shouldn't have to be said... Sadly, one should never underestimate the power of an idiot's ability to amaze.

The part that is never said is:

Think before acting until correct action becomes second nature... When in doubt; think!

Still, the biggest mistake of thinking is when you do so in a vacuum. Get advice! Find someone who's been there before. Filter advice through metrics by weighing the success of the adviser with their age and how it stacks against the advice a group of his/her peers.

Oh, don't ask Facebook, Twitter or any other social media for advise.

Diserved.

People who use the word diserve often don't.

Calvinism vs Armenianism

When I talk to a Calvinist, I'm often surprised by how Armenian they sound. And vice versa.

Success

You need to arrive at success with scars. Each scar will have a story to tell & you will be able to pass on your knowledge (your story) by recounting scar.

Capable?

It is not enough to be capable. One must be capable & willing.

In fact, it is arguable that you may not even need to be capable… Merely willing.

How many incapable people have done things simply because they were willing… They were willing, they learned & they did. They became capable.

If you are not capable, simply be willing. The capability will come to you when you do.

Politics & Hollywood:

It's a sad day when Kings take their cues from the court jesters.

Facebook:

The things I haven't posted seem to have as much, if not more, affect as the things I have posted.

The less I stay, the smarter I sound.
