I can't think of any at the moment my mind just went blank.<br />But just the morning, on the way to work I flipped through a talk radio channel - and they were discussing "things your parents told white lies to you as a child" stuff.<br /><br />The one that cracked me up was what a caller said:<br /><br />"we always told our children that Cheerios were bagel seeds - if you planted them in the garden, they might grow."<br /><br />Oh, and my Mom recently ruined my belief in her magical power to change traffic lights to green. When I was a child (in the passenger seat) and we were stopped at a light, Mom would say something like "ok, I bet the light will change... 3.... 2.... 1... CHANGE!!" and voila, the light turned green.<br /><br />Only recently did she tell me (the obvious) that all she did was look sideways at the light facing the cross street and wait until it went to orange or red, and the lights had a 2 or 3 second delay before changing to green.<br /><br />*sigh*Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432734680316100034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-6301581027994616192009-05-01T17:23:00.000-07:002009-05-01T17:23:00.000-07:00my Grandfather always told me two things.
1) NEVE...my Grandfather always told me two things.<br /><br />1) NEVER believe everything you here, or see. always question it. always question what may be 'normal thinking' <br /><br />2) think about it! dont take it at face value<br /><br />3) (his 'business-esque' advice) There is only ONE thing people will always need in the world, and cant make more of it-- and that's LAND!Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723722462386758331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-9664245474648362622009-05-01T15:08:00.000-07:002009-05-01T15:08:00.000-07:00@ Seb it must be know nice knowing your mom is alw...@ Seb it must be know nice knowing your mom is always squeezing you lol but it shows how much she cares about you and I hope you squeeze her back :P, thanks<br /><br />@ Torchy maybe we should all be yielding to temptation more :P and you always practise do onto to others at least in your dreams I have read about. A fair minded indivdual though you are.:), thanks<br /><br />@ Dan sounds like you heard it often :D It really is something that I try to do a lot in my business as you need to understand what the client is saying about a situation before you can act, thanks<br /><br />@ jay to me that is a brave response and attitude, but in fact I agree if the question is asked they probably are asking for a reason. I am still not sure i would divulge the information myself, a weakness of mine perhaps, thanks <br /><br />@ Matt i hope you and your generation are part of the change we need in this country and deadlines - wooshing sound that is not giving me a pretty image lol, thanks<br /><br />@ AEK I know this for sure as creation involves planning, thought, revisions, hours upon hours of testing or modeling and caring. Where as destruction of ones work maybe done in an instant and without thought of any kind, thanks<br /><br />@ Randy I like the one about its "the life in your years" how true, and i am not surprised you have heard of the seven P's yourself, or that you live life to the fullest, thanks<br /><br />@ S hey thanks so much for stopping by and your mom understood what it is like to ride the waves, cause i also think life has it ups and downs and you need to stay in the boat during both times to ride out the problems of life, thankscvn70https://www.blogger.com/profile/08247117122250829095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-83758345354495083082009-05-01T12:19:00.000-07:002009-05-01T12:19:00.000-07:00I don't know if there are any expressions or somet...I don't know if there are any expressions or something that has affected my life.

This..."You learn more by listening than by talking"<br />This was drilled into me by my late grandfather.<br /><br />The back story is that I never could shut my mouth when I was little. Especially in school. Somehow I managed to get the straight A's, but every report card I got marked for poor behavior because I could't shut my trap. It took many years to really understand how important this advice was, and sadly I'm not sure I really understood it until after my grandfather had passed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-20070231910956876492009-05-01T01:09:00.000-07:002009-05-01T01:09:00.000-07:00my maxims i guess are
