Hahaha...good one Verh. I worked with a man for years whose entire conversation was delivered through cliches and words of wisdom. Some were brilliant...I quote them to this day and live by most of them.

  • If you worry you'll die, if you dont worry you'll still die, why worry?
  • If you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas
  • Time cures everything.
  • The reward of endless patience is instant results.
  • If you stick your head above the sh*t they will fling sh*t at you.
  • Show me your friends and I'll tell you where you are going.
  • Its only money! (you have to think about that one!)

And then some other great sayings from the wise

  • Whether you believe you can or whether you believe you can't you are absolutely right
  • Pain in life is inevitable, suffering is optional
  • If you argue with reality you lose...but only 100% of the time!

CHANGE:

There are only two ways to handle tense situations  -

You can change them or

You can change the way you look at them

There is Enlightenment to be had in changing the way we look at things.
