Taking Chances

Ten Commandments of Getting Along With People

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:14:15 -0600

1. Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How you say it counts more than what you say.

2. Make promises sparingly, and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs.

3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging word to or about somebody. Praise good work, regardless of who did it. If criticism is needed, criticize helpfully, never spitefully.

4. Be interested in others, their pursuits, their work, their homes and families. Make merry with those who rejoice; with those who weep, mourn. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance.

5. Be cheerful. Don’t burden or depress those around you by dwelling on your minor aches and pains and small disappointments. Remember, everyone is carrying some kind of a load.

6. Keep an open mind. Discuss but don’t argue. It is a mark of a superior mind to be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves. Refuse to talk of another’s vices. Discourage gossip. It is a waste of valuable time and can be extremely destructive.

8. Be careful of another’s feelings. Wit and humour at the other person’s expense are rarely worth it and may hurt when least expected.

9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Remember, the person who carried the message may not be the most accurate reporter in the world. Simply live so that nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves and bad digestion are a common cause of back-biting.

10. Don’t be too anxious about the credit due you. Do your best, and be patient. Forget about yourself, and let others “remember.” Success is much sweeter that way.

“Your Eyes” from the musical, RENT!

Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can’t get them out of my mind
And I find I can’t hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there’s moonlight I see your eyes
How’d I let you slip away
When I’m longing so to hold you
Now I’d die for one more day
‘Cause there’s something I should have told you
Yes there’s something I should have told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before this song dies
I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you
You can see it in my eyes
Mimi!!!!

“

Look at me,
There has to be something more than what they see
Wholesome and pure,
Oh so scared and unsure, a pawn then,
Sandra Dee Sandy,
You must start anew,
Don’t you know what you must do
Hold your head high,
Take a deep breath and sigh
Goodbye to Sandra Dee

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:34:08 -0600

“

“‘If I Had a Hammer’ must have been written for people without hammers. Because before I had a hammer, I probably thought, if I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning, I’d hammer in the evening, I’d hammer all over this land, if I had a hammer. Once you have a hammer, you find you don’t hammer as much as you think you would.”

—Ellen Degeneres
