Quote: Life-advice from a nanogenarian

11/8/09: Received from Ramesh Babu via some forwarded junk email:

This is something we should all read at least once a week!

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the local newspaper "The Plain Dealer", Cleveland, Ohio .

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written."

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile

Quote: Ignorance

He who asks remains a fool for five minutes.

He who does not ask remains a fool forever.

(From Cilambu’s chat quote)

(May I substitute "ignorant" for "fool"?)

Quote: Vision

Vision without execution is hallucination.

Thomas A. Edison

Quote: Smell the flowers

I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.

Herbert Rappaport

Quote: Talk

After all is said and done, there is more said than done!

- Aesop

Quote: Life

Life is not a problem to be solved; it is a mystery to be lived.
