I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on.
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
--Dennis Wholey
"You're saying, 'Be willing to do something very hard without the slightest
assurance of success.' Isn't that a good working definition of a complete
waste of time?" --Weemba
"Not at all. It's called life." --Matthew Snyders
"I only broke out of the behavior pattern two and one-half years ago, so I
have considerable sympathy for others who do the same thing. However, I
have to say that, if you defend your limitations, they're yours. It's a
guaranteed win." -- Eric Pepke
"Q: How many shy people does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: (silence)" --unknown

10 Rules for Being Human
1. You will recieve a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time school called, "Life". Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think of them as irrelevant or stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better than "here". When your "here" has become "there" that will again, look better than "here". (When you get close to the green grass across the fence, there will be a lot of brown on it).
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources that you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all of this.
