2. “It could be better, but
it is good enough.”
3. “Do you see difficulty
behind every opportunity, or opportunity behind every difficulty?”
4. “Curiosity is life.”
5. “Nature gave us one tongue
and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.”
Fortune cookies fortunes from
last year’s Christmas dinner, yes 12.25.14, way back then.
I had thought now that many
have made their New Year’s resolution or already quit them these might be
enlightening for all our futures way of thinking, but I could be wrong I have
been wrong before… nothing new there, hmm?
Any-who, the first I chose
for my tonight’s title I thought was amazingly familiar; could I have been of
Asian decent in my previous life or lives, or could it be that we have all been
quoting that little ditty for too many years to remember the exact date we
found that it was, in our minds that it was soooo profound, yet simple? HA!
Way to live your life, don’t
waste it, what a concept, oops my inner George Carlin has kicked in again,
please forgive.
The second one in the listing
of five in total; yes we did have a mini banquet for two with that order thus
the five, but it lasted for days and days…I do believe that here is where one
might discuss if being too greedy and wanting too much is real happiness or is
enough just right, huh? In our cases we have found our enough, but when it
breaks we must repair it, so in reality enough is never ever really enough, is
it, hmm?
Moving on…
The third fortune, another
good one, the power of positive thinking, whoa, every one from Dale Carnegie to
Oprah Winfrey and everyone before and after them including ELLEN have had that
way of thinking in their programs of subliminal teachings or outright blatant
commentary, nothing wrong with that; I’m just saying, heard and understood ages
ago.
The next to last, number four
is how I try to live my life with wide open eyes and the desire to learn
daily…but saying that it is life is way over the top, a bit in my opinion and
we all know what that’s worth, nada, bupkis zilch zero in the BIGGER PICTURE OF
THINGS, absolutely true!
Last but not least that
ending one, number five, now by all rights it is very logical in how it is
said, but it does not take into consideration the human nature of people and
how so many of my kind, i.e. talkers, have been told they were able to teach a
class or speak publicly or be in management and train people etc. etc. or teach
your own children everything where they all listen to you, and you do have much
to say, and so no, not in me to stop too many years of being inundated with
being told to take charge and so I have and it has mostly been a good thing, although
I have learned like most of us that when we are truly interested in what
someone has to say we do finally shut our singular oral cavity and do listen intensely especially if the person or persons expressing themselves
while evoking the use of your name! HA!
That last paragraph is
typical of how I actually do speak, in run on sentences, oh well… but it is
refreshing to know that most write how they converse in the real world…very
true; another advantage/disadvantage that I have found.
On that note of expressing my
opinionated opinions once again, allow me to be the very first to wish all of
you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your
blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
PS Our hearts go out to the
Parisian people with their loss of so many by the hand of evil, horrifically
again. Will it ever end…?!
