Dad said 'If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull ****

From my own personal experience- everthing in life fits into one of two catgegories. Things you can do something about, and things you can't. If you can do something about it, go do it and quit worrying. If you cant do anything about it, just quit worrying.
Around here we call them category one and category two. I dont worry about much.

Re: Advice

Both my mother and father grew up during the Great Depression. They always preached to me to only borrow money when you had to, and pay cash for everything else.

Very ironic that I have been a banker for almost 30 years...

Use the brain God gave you.

When you're climbing the ladder of success be careful who's fingers you step on. You never know when you'll pass them on the way down.

Re: Advice

"Don't believe anything you hear and only 1/2 of what you see."

My Dad told me that when I was in my early teens. He pushed me to investigate and form my opinions on my own - not on others.

Along the same lines: "There are two sides to every story."
