…..Mark Twain…

Even when you are wrong you are right…
because knowing you are wrong makes you right!

Always do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

“Never hurt your own feelings.” Don’t take offense when none is intended, and don’t analyze interactions in search of slights and insults.

“Don’t borrow trouble.” The world has a vast surplus of problems and conflicts that you can’t avoid. Don’t compound this by taking needless actions that’ll have detrimental effects.

“Never try to reason with someone who’s being irrational.” Banging your own head against a wall is less frustrating and more beneficial.

“There are at least 3 sides to every conflict.” Party A’s version, what Party B says, and the reality.

“Never try to placate a bully.” Bullies smell blood, and they view sanity and reason as weaknesses. The only things you can do are: (1) retreat and avoid (best), or (2) let yourself be bullied (worst), or (3) stand up for yourself and fight back (a challenge, but often worthwhile).

Always look both ways before crossing the street.

Always put knives into the dishwasher sharp end first.

If you dip your wick, use an umbrella. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Run it up the flag pole, and see who salutes. And never use the term SNAFU around kids, lol. My dad did that once when I had a bad grade card when he was off on a deployment. He got back and mom ratted me out. He told me, just because I’m gone awhile is no excuse for you to go SNAFU on your grades. I asked what that was, he said an old military phrase. Situation Normal All Fucked Up. LOL We had a laugh about it, then mom jumped his ass for using that. I thought it was hilarious though. But he told me, any more Fs and next time you won’t be laughing. Point was taken. LOL
