Quote about Truth (by me)

Truth is Overrated...

Telling the truth when happy is called bragging...
Telling the truth when sad is called complaining...

to please others, tell them what they want to hear...

save the truth for yourself...
you are the only person that will benefit from it...and the only person who cares to listen....

Frasier Quote

"While it’s tempting to play it safe, the more we’re willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took."


The poem Frasier quotes in this episode is a shortened version of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s "Ulysses".
 
"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
[Scene shifts to Frasier’s KACL booth.]
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will;
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
I’ve been thinking about that poem a lot lately. And I think what it says is that, while it’s tempting to play it safe, the more we’re willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took. And I hope that explains, at least a little, this journey on which I am about to embark. I have loved every minute with my KACL family, and all of you. For eleven years you've heard me say, "I’m listening." Well, you were listening, too. And for that I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle.

Focus on Timing!

Substance determines the size of the success, but timing determines if it succeeds or fails

There is a right time for any thing...


Any idea can succeed when performed at the right time...
Even the best of ideas will fail when performed at the wrong time.

My Quote on Perfection

Perfection should always be seeked, but never demanded...

goes in hand with my other quote of:

Make excuses for others, but never for yourself...

Funny Joke heard on TV

Man: "Wow, you are stunning"

Girl: "Thanks."

Man: "You look just like my 3rd wife."

Girl: "Oh, how many times have you been married?"

Man: "2 times."
