Don Calogero advises us...

"The roads that will lead you to success or failure look almost exactly the same...so thread carefully."

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted"...

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. For just as the sun melts ice, kindness causes misunderstandings, mistrusts, and hostilities to evaporate...A single act of kindness takes root in all directions and these roots spring up and make new trees.”

“There are four kinds of people to avoid in the world...the assholes, the ass-wipes, the ass-kissers, and those who’d like to shit on you.” — Unknown

A Thought for This Monday Morning....
-

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love…” – Marcus Aurelius

. Always a good idea to stay away from the ass people lol. On a serious note I’m not sure who is worse the upfront assholes or ones who are nice to your face but screw you from behind

Exactly. I agree....The schemers...

And now, I do think it's time for a few select people to receive a little more "wiseguy wisdom"....


“Never give your attention to someone who deserves only your silence.”

THE 7 RULES OF LIFE...

1) Make peace with your past...so it won't disturb your future.

2) What other people think of you is none of your business.

3) The only person in charge of your happiness is you.

4) Don't compare your life to others, because comparison is the thief of joy.

5) Time heals almost everything. So give it time.

6) STOP thinking so much. It's alright not to know all the answers.

7) Smile. You don't own all the problems out there in the world.

“Life is not measured by the ‘number’ of strokes we make, or breaths we take, but rather by the ‘quality’ of the strokes, and moments, that take our breath away.”

A wise word for those fellas to consider, who are even "wise" enough to grasp the deeper meaning of my quote.

Lady Gaga offers one woman's perspective...

“Some women choose to follow men, and some choose to follow their dreams. But if you’re wondering which way to go, always remember that your career will never wake up and tell you it doesn’t love you anymore.” — Lady Gaga

And now, its time for a little history lesson…
--

What's the difference between the legendary Roman Emperor Giulio Cesare and a common dominatrix?

He said… "I came! I saw! I conquered!"

"She" said… "I saw! I conquered! I came!"

Don Calogero teaches his young picciotti...

“Everybody's a tough guy, until the real tough guy walks into the room.” Lol


So true!

Some mysteries through the ages...and food for thought....
-

If Cinderella's shoe were such a perfect fit, then why did it fall off? LOL

If friends will buy you food, then why is it that best friends always eat your food?

Why is it, that at night I can't seem to fall asleep. And Yet, in the morning, I can't seem to wake up?

Why is it that some people are like clouds? When they go away, the day suddenly brightens up?

Good mornin' gents! "Top of the day to you" as they say back in Ireland.

It's Monday morning. The start of a brand new week that holds endless possibilities (both good and bad.)

So here's a little gem for everyone to keep in mind to start the week off on the right foot. It sets a proper tone. Let it be your mantra, if you will...

"It's nice to be important. But it's more important to always be nice."

Beautiful. Some days I think "The Other Guy isn't so bad." Have a good day sir

“Always remember... Lies are carried by envious haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

...In other words, distance yourself from the assholes out there in cyberland. Lol

+1 LOL

Just like the "little man" behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

LOL. Judging from the mentality and infantile comments a few posters constantly put on display on this forum, I'd say he's a "very little man." LOL

IMPORTANT RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:
1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help a man when he is in trouble, and he'll be sure to remember you when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.

It has been said that….“Nothing baffles and frustrates the schemes of devious people so much as the calm composure and resolve of great souls.”

Confucius say…

“There are few people in life as useless, as those who spend their time doing efficiently, that which should not be done at all.”
