Random Jottings ~ Sucess

Random Jottings ~ Sucess

start each day badly, and you wave success goodbye

~

to be fulfilled, turn work into play

~

Expert:  a complete drip under pressure

~

never trust an expert who has never done a hard days work

~

emotional intelligence is an essential ingredient of a balanced and successful life

~

to be successful, to stand out from the crowd, do the exact opposite of what most people are doing

Random Jottings #19

you will have a much better life if you live your dreams

life is a long road to your dreams

~

behind every successful person is a dream fulfilled

~

real success takes hard work, persistence, and sacrifice

~

if you aim to be perfect, you will only end up disappointed

~

every piece of good fortune is usually the result of taking risks

~

life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react…

the fire inside isn’t something to share lightly

  ~

nothing makes a log fire so good as a storm outside

~

there is something about really bad weather that makes inside a good place to be

~

the worst thing about very bad weather in England is that we insist on talking about it

~

life as a cat is mostly about things that go squeek crunch in the night

yesterday, WTF was yesterday?  and who am I anyway?

~

yesterday, all my troubles hit me like a ton of bricks

~

reach for the stars, come up with a handful of mud

Ancient Roman Sayings Every Man Should Know

Ancient Roman Sayings Every Man Should Know

cogito, ergo sum

~

a healthy mind in a healthy body

~

do not burn your bridges behind you

there is no such thing as pure pleasure

~

lightning most often strikes the highest tower

~

you are never less alone than when you are alone

~

lustfulness and fear are the proofs of a degenerate mind

every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

if you are going to do something, do it with all your heart

~

meaningful relationships happen in circles and spirals

~

cherish your friends 

stay true to your principles

live passionately and well

~

thoughts, words, and deeds have implications far beyond the moment

~

if it scares you, then you should definitely try it

~

you can do the impossible

just be more careful when it comes to miracles

in the beginning there was an infinity of choices

~

don’t worry it could get infinitely worse

~

there are a million reasons to be depressed by an infinity in lockdown 

~

little do they know,

but you’re never alone with paranoia 

~

infinity welcomes careful physicists

Sitting at home in this government-imposed lockdown I’ve had lots of time to think and to remember.  I found myself remembering all the cars and motorcycles I’ve ever owned, the good, the bad, and the just damn ugly.  As I have an almost perfect memory I believe this is a pretty good list of my motoring…
