Thought for the day

[noirua]

To know what others know, is to know more than they know.

The bleating of the goat attracts the tiger. The flickering of the candle attracts the moth.

..."and I have had 20 years experience" indeed "more like 1 years experience 20 times"...

Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day

Teach him how to fish and he will sit in the boat and drink beer all day

I know ..I know..
This should be in the joke thread ,but I couldn't resist dropping it here

...always be very early, but wait, and then, always arrive exactly ontime.

like Paddy - given three wishes by the genie

I'd like a glass of beer that never gets empty -
the genie waves
whoosh - glass appears
wow! he says
ok and for the other two wishes , I'll have two more of them ...

Very good, I like that one. I passed through a village near Ballymoney, Northern Ireland and stopped at a takeaway, Fish & Chip shop, at lunchtime. A notice, hanging inside the door said "Closed for Lunch". Sadly, this is true.

I love this Noirua! What was your source? It sounds African.

A Nigerian I know said once:

Just because the tiger is silent does not mean he is stupid.

Investment advice: Always buy the shares I have bought, shortly after me and sell them, likewise, after I have.

 

[ithatheekret]

Always go and wait , for that which won't wait for you .

 

[noirua]

Never follow others, go ahead alone, particularly up a ladder.

 

[noirua]

Always buy the dish of the day, if you can get it?

I remembered this story when noticing how people confuse it with , deserve and don`t deserve.
Similar to how people confuse karma with, revenge and good fortune.

There once was a peasant farmer who owned a beautiful horse.

One day the horse disappeared. The neighbor, who greatly admired the horse, came to the farmer, and said, "Oh, what bad luck to lose your beautiful horse!" The farmer replied, "Good luck, bad luck , who knows."

The next day, the horse returned, leading a whole herd of beautiful horses. The neighbor came to him. "Oh, what good luck you have!" "Good luck, bad luck, who knows," said the Farmer.

A week later, the Farmer's son was thrown from one of the wild horses he was training and broke his leg. The neighbor came to the fence and told the Farmer, "Oh, what bad luck!" "Good luck, bad luck, who knows," said the Farmer.

The next day the Emperor's soldiers came to the village to collect all the able bodied young men to go to war, but they left behind the Farmer's son, because he had a broken leg. "Oh, what good luck you have," said the neighbor. "Good luck,bad luck, who knows," said the Farmer.

We have long memories but still need our gut instincts.

 

[noirua]

The future is yours my son and also mine, take care, lest yours doth finish now and I dwell there and not at your arrival.

Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome!
