18 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME FAR TOO MANY YEARS TO LEARN

1. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

2. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep
down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never
want you to share yours with them.

5. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy
people who are not in them.

6. You should not confuse your career with your life.

7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too
seriously.

8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very
often, that individual is crazy.

9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

10. Never lick a steak knife.

11. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on
the same night.

12. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
reason why we observe daylight-savings time.

13. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggest
you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from
her at that moment.

14. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11.

15. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race
has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word
would be "meetings."

16. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its
glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as
His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

17. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice
person.

18. Your friends love you, anyway.
A true friend tells you what you need to hear , not what you want to hear!
