A few wise words.
We offer 3 kinds of Service...
Good- Cheap- Fast.
You can pick any two..
Good service cheap won’t be fast.
Good service fast wont be cheap.
Fast service cheap won’t be good.
It’s your road and yours alone,
Others may walk it with you,
But no one can walk it for you...
Someday everything will make perfect sense, So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.
Do you know that awesome feeling when you get into bed , fall right asleep, stay asleep all night , and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day ?
Yeah! Me neither.
In the end we only regret the chances we didn’t take , relationships we are afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.
If there are no ups and downs in your life . It means you are dead.
You never appreciate what you have till it’s gone. Toilet paper. Is a good example.
LIFE..Available for a limited time only. Limit one (1) per person. Subject to change without notice. Provided as is and without any warranties. Non transferable and is the sole responsibility of the recipient. May incur damage arising from use. Or misuse . Additional parts sold separately .your mileage may vary. Subject to all applicable fees and. Taxes..Terms and conditions apply.
Being a male is a matter of birth , being a man is a matter of age, being a gentleman is a matter of choice.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened.
I’d be unstoppable if not for law enforcement and Physics.
Three Simple rules in life
1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
2. If you do not ask the answer will always be NO.
3.. If you do not step forward , you’ll always be in the same place.
Slow down and enjoy the journey right now, take time for the people in your life . They won’t always be there.
Heaven is where...
The police are British
The chefs Italian.
The mechanis German
The lovers French
And it’s all organised by the Swiss
Hell is where...
The police are German
The chefs British
The mechanics French
The lovers Swiss
And it’s all organised by the Italians.
Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.
One of the best feelings in the world. Is knowing that your presence and absence both mean something to someone.

Re: A few wise words.
Reputed to be an old Chinese proverb, life is easy, think like a dog, sniff it, if you can't eat it or hump it, pi** on it and walk away, kt
