Do any of you have any sayings of philosophies that just seem to keep proving them selfs true or that you say on a regular basis? I always liked it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. Also the rule of 3 goes something like you can survive 3 hours without shelter,3 days without water,and 30 days without food . And finally when ever you screw up just say well it is better to look good than to be good.

Ahhh,lately mine has been "Mind over matter,I have no mind so it don't matter!"
I think CRS is trying to kick in and I'm fightin'it tooth and nail!
I too have been using the rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it philosophy.I resist the packrat mentality so I try to envision what the object is used for,what parts can be used to fix something else or can I adapt it to something else or is it just junk?
My neighbors have remarked a time or two that they just need to come to TEDMART before going anywhere else.:D

When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect...:D

Hmm... there's a few things I like to try and live by. One I completely stole from Gladiator: What we do in life, echoes in eternity!
I don't know, I just think it'd the deepest thing to come outta a movie in a long time.

"In a war, people don’t ask questions. It is not a police action. War is chaos. War is the absence of reason. Babies die. Mothers die. Fathers die horrible, irrational deaths. I still have nightmares over thirty years later about what I saw in combat. I also witnessed the rampant corruption between military personnel and civilians..."

THE MAN IN THE ARENA
It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the
strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the
great enthusiasms, the great devotions , and spends himself in a worthy
cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who,
if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory
nor defeat.

My signature should tell you my "phylosophy"......
1 = " If you don't hold it, you don't own it"... Ponce = like investing in the market where you give them fiat in order to get back a piece of paper that might or might not be any good.
2 = "To be ready is not".. Ponce = No matter how well prepared you think that you are the is always something else that either you forgot or you should do.
