Thought for the day

Jump to new
President Obama: We are announcing our offensive against the Taliban 10 times everyday worldwide and building up to 20. We hope they will get the idea we're on our way. In other words, they'll get out of the way so we have few losses.

Reporter: Mr President: Wont they just go away rearm and come back again later?

President Obama: Yes, we can expect very many dirty tricks like that from the Taliban.
 
Germany and France, "We stand shoulder to shoulder with Greece! Yes indeed. But we're not saying anymore than that."
 
Mr Rudd: I support all the advances in green energy and would like to thank the coal companies, some of them anyway, for the enormous 20c per tonne tariff they pay as a contribution. [privately, stingy what-sits]
 
Summing up whether you are an all correct person or could not care less. Basically, are you a teapot person or a squash it in a mug person?
 
Handle every stress situation like a dog. If you cant eat it or play with it. Just pee on it and walk away.
 
I don't know really who does. The ASX200 looks really cheap if you look at the index level and the strength of the AUD and confidence in Australia generally. Basically, shouldn't the ASX200 be racing along merrily? - 6,000 HERE WE COME! Just a 'Thought for the day' nothing more, or indeed, less.
 
What every we do or do not do, will matter zero in terms of the Universe. In fact, in any terms at all.
Whether we should live 100 seconds or 100 years matters as nothing, which ever it should be. In fact, nothing at all.
Even if you achieve more than anyone before you and all the Earth sees you as a great wonder, it was in fact you. Who ever you be or were, matters nothing, nothing at all.
A million years pass, a billion years pass, a trillion years pass and on and on and on. It matters in time as but nothing, nothing at all.
My friend, the proof, that achieving nothing is better than achieving something, NO, all the same, they're nothing, nothing at all.
If you can see yourself as nothing, nothing at all, then you have achieved everything, everything my friend, you've achieved all.

Nothing is everything by noirua
 
Thought I'd join you again on this thread, Noirua.

"There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read."

G K Chesterton
 
Jump on the bandwagon just as it starts to roll. Not when it's standing still as it may well do so for sometime.

If the bandwagon jerks as the driver seems to brake continuously, then, study the driver and see: Is it the bandwagon with a problem or he.

Or be it travelling too fast, beware, or is it the terrain that is worsening. Unsure, then bail out with great care.

The wind starts to blow and the rain poreth down, a wobble, a skid, not for me.

The driver is ill and it's all up to her, stay on for the ride, no, it's no longer free.

Everything is going well, new horses, new driver and the sun is shining down. On and on, stay on.

Once again we stop for repairs on the ride and I figure the driver is free. Too free, as they make their gestures, just motions, going through. Bail out not for me.

We stop overnight at a very good motel and the horses are brushed, fed and so free. We start in the morn' all well prepared, yes, the best and costs less, yes, this is for me.

Lost it would seem and we go on no where, despite making haste, divert yet again, happy he would say, we're almost there. This not for me whatever the fare.

A collective and family coach we do board. Happiness, joyfullness, cut him in half and a coach through and through. Joyful am I and stay me on board as long as they change the horses, talk change and all.

As a planet, without meeting comparable size asteroid we have about 5 billion years left.
As species, statistically we have about 900,000 years left.
As individuals we probably don't have more than 50 maximum 100 years left.

Bit sad, but sooner or later everything comes to the END.
 
Best advice: Always, but always, look before you flush ; yes, best advice indeed!
 
Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
 
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)

How True !!!
 
"All of you, everyone of you, you-you-you all look down at me. I try my best, my very best, and still you look down at me", she said.
Tapping her arm, her best friend said, "we never, never, never look down on you, never ever, I can assure you of that. Its that we all look up to you so much. Trouble is you're never there".
 
Beware the person who mocks you for stealing a glass or toilet roll; because they probably robbed a shop or bank, or even far worse.

Never mind if you panic, jump up and down, kick the walls, shout and bellow, cry your eyes out; what is important, is making the right decision and acting on it.
