This advice was not given to me personally but I always remembered it

When you lose your money you lose nothing when you lose your health you lose something but when you lose your character you lose everything.

This has been my signature for a few years....I read that the quote is attributed to Meyer Lansky....

AR182 Just goes to show how much I pay attention on this site. Thanks for letting me know who initiated the quote. Lansky was a very smart man. I believe he also said that the government would be running drugs, prostitution and gambling by the year 2000. Wasn't far off.

Never lie or steal. Liars and thieves are the worst persons on this earth.

Deucer: Just googled Sylvan Lake. The marina looks quite nice in pictures. I'm now approximately 1.5 hours away from you. :)


Best advice was from my dean: "It took me 7 years to finish. There's no reason for you to take that long. Your diss will never be perfect; there's no such thing. So just get it done."

The second best advice was from someone quoting Marx: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."

Peace! :)

YOU GOT A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING HIT BY LIGHTENING THREE TIMES IN A DAY THAN YOU HAVE OF MEETING 3 MUSLIM CARDIOGISTS WALKING DOWN THE STREET.BESIDES I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TREVON MARTIN TYPES OF NIGERIANS THE HOOD WEARING GANGSTER TYPES.I MIGHT WALK DOWN THE STREET IF THE NIGERIANS WERE WEARING NICE SUITS AND LOOKED SMART BUT WHATS THE CHANCES OF A NIGERIAN LOOKING SMART.JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CROSS THE STREET IF 3 NIGERIANS ARE APPROACHING YOU IT WONT END WELL

THREE BLACK CARDIOLOGISTS WOW THATS A GOOD ONE :mj07: YOU WOULD BE LUCKY TO FIND THREE OVERPRICED JANITORS MEN DONT WORK IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY THEY DONT WANT TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT HAVENT YOU HEARD

Good fishing for Wally's in the Marina. My son and I always fish there in the summer, normally you can pull in 5 fish an hour, which is very entertaining for young kids. I see your in Cowtown:0074. I hate the traffic there, but love the view of the mountains.:toast:

Sounds like fishing's a good time in Sylvan Lake.

As for traffic, it's all relative. I'm new here, so traffic back in T.O. is a helluva lot worse than what I've seen here thus far. lol

Peace! :)

Most people can't remember all 10 Commandments, but if you just obey 2 Thou shall not KILL and thou shall not steal. Most likely people will think you were a pretty decent guy when you die.

and

Only bet with people you know will pay. You don't want to gamble twice. One, you'll win 2. You'll get paid.

Best advice I ever received was parenting related... 1995 I was working the Circuit City video department. I was in grad school, married almost 2yrs and wife preggers with second kid. I liked to talk customers up with family. Make a connection. We worked on commission. A customer said

There will be many times when you're headed out the door for work or to meet your buddies, whatever...and your small child will ask you to play. Your immediate reaction will be to say sorry but Daddy's gotta go. But really you only have to sit down for 10min max. They don't need a lot of time. You're building a person.
