A Few Words To Live By

[GearHead_1]

Reality Check


1 – You WILL NOT be rewarded for bad behavior.

2 – Being told NO is part of life. Get over it.

3 – You are free to make your own choice. You ARE NOT free of the consequences.

4 – Life IS NOT fair.

5 – You ARE NOT the boss.

6 – The world DOES NOT revolve around you.

7 – Respect is earned; it IS NOT freely given.

8 – The world owes you nothing, WORK for it.

9 – Fits and tantrums will get you NOTHING. Stop wasting your time.

10 – YOU put yourself here. YOU need to fix YOU.

11 – Shut your mouth, OPEN YOUR EARS.

I saw this the other day and realized this was one of the things my father tried to teach me.

When to leave things unsaid:
When the person is not ready to receive feedback
When it won't make a difference
When it can hurt someone unnecessarily
When there is an alternative
When it goes against the boundaries the person has set
When it will make things worse
When we don't know the person or situation well enough
When speaking is motivated by revenge

Kind of liking where this thread could go, but not so much where it may, but here's my addition:

12. As a matter of respect to an original author, always at least attempt to include attributions on posts you make that should have included them...

13. Never, ever, be "offended," by any comment, post, or reply from anyone on the Internet with whom you have not personally met, know, and/or directly interacted. Better yet, just don't allow anyone to "offend" you as being "offended" is entirely your choice.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

You have never lived, until you almost died. For those who fought for it, life has a special flavor that the protected will never know.
