choose your battles carefully/only fight the battles you can win

Marlin said...

It takes two years for a man to show his true colors.

sandybrook said...

You can't please everybody

ryan said...

yes, this too! another one: never explain yourself to anyone

HH314 said...

I think this is bad advice. Of course is good to win all your battles if you must battle, but sometimes you just have to do the right thing without guaranteed success and even if you lose. A clean conscience is more important to me

Ever Duchovny said...

Be a listener. Learn whether or not you are engaging someone you want to go forward with in life as a friend, colleague or romantic partner. If they are not desireable for your life, simply do not engage again. Don't get caught up in drama.

sandybrook said...

OT for a second to the Enterns: the notification of a direct reply from another poster to me via my E-mail isn't working anymore.

JustReading said...

"Choose your battles" was the best piece of advice I received as a young parent. I followed it and paid attention to what was REALLY important and what was just life. It was immensely helpful.

Guesser said...

Mine stopped as well, as soon as I could reply to others, the email notification stopped.

It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
also
Learn to forgive yourself - everyone makes mistakes.

just sayin' said...

"bloom where you're planted".
also "never marry a musician", which i unfortunately ignored.

My late mother told me when I was 10 (65 years ago): "Never, ever vote Republican and never, ever trust ----!" Words to live by.

Gigs said...

Ha, my mother said just the opposite: Never vote for a Democrat.

If you have a problem, tell the wall. Secret well kept

How somebody feels about you is none of your business.

Buy a plunger before you need one.

To never follow a man blindly, unless I'm dancing - from my dad :)

Never turn down a hot beef sandwich.

Also, horizontal stripes do make a husky woman look like a pregnant bee.

But what if you're Helen Keller?

It's not good to be too nice.

The only way to make money in Las Vegas is to: Stay Out of the Casinos!

Sometimes you have to smack a client upside the head with the truth in order to get their attention.

Never, ever help friends or family with real estate. If it goes well, they take the credit; if it goes slightly bad, it's all your fault.

If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember the lie.

Don't believe a word about your own publicity!

If a client isn't qualified to buy, tell them and move on. You will waste time and effort trying to help them qualify.

If a Seller demands a price way too high for the market, they are not a serious Seller.

texasrose said...

I will repeat - Never pass up a bathroom, trust a fart, or waste a hardon.

inga said...

whatever happened in ur life, never oder Margarita in Chinese Restaurant....

Farmgirl said...

Remember every person was once a tiny baby just needing love and protection.

It seems like a simple idea, but when you look at people as just another baby like yourself, it helps give perspective.

Shake it twice, tap it, then put it away.

OKay said...

You can't change him. You can only change your response to him.

Frufra said...

With regards to raising children: pay now or pay later. Do the work (discipline) when they're little, and spare everyone the anguish when they're older.

Famous Chef said...

Get your education. "They" can never take that away from you.

AndrewBW said...

God gave us two ears and one tongue so that we could listen twice as often as we speak.

Measure twice, cut once.

HH314 said...

Girl, you are self-absorbed to the extreme. It's unhealthy. Here is some advice someone should've given you a long time ago: the whole world doesn't revolve around you and your issues. Get over yourself and you'll find happiness

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Good one. Mean girls always get the best guys for some reason.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

A non-regular troll (or at least a rarely seen one) commenting on my ramblings? Or do you only come around when certain blinds about certain people are posted. Not today.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

I never thought a seller could be considered "not serious"? Like, they really don't want to let go of the property subconsciously or something?

HH314 said...

I happen to have a very busy life to spend too much time on gossip sites, you wouldn't understand the concept
And calling people rude names like troll only makes you look small
I just read your ramblings (very apt description) in a public forum and thought to myself "this girl is delusional". Does she really think anyone cares about her little precious snowflake issues? My advice was meant to help, seems like you're not capable of looking at yourself objectively so nevermind

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Awww... If you're so "busy", then why do you even keep coming here at all? Do you have vested interest too, or do you just care really that much about the lives of people who have nothing to do with you whatsoever? Now who's the "delusional" one?

DancerDiva said...

Don't bitch if you're not going to do anything about it.

HH314 said...

I am a physician and am very busy. This website and Dlisted are my lunch break distractions. I do have to be very focused on my work so half an hour of idle gossip and guessing blind items is my way to relax and breathe. Normally I just read and rarely comment but your postings shocked me with their lack of self-awareness. I hope this answers your questions

Sd auntie said...

Hh314, YOU Are a pompous ass and i would HATE to be your patient. STFU. oh and dont forget, you called me a whore? And think i'm white. Who says that and why are you working with the general public!!!!!! Wish i could report your idiot ass to the state board. I also see you on Daily Mail making jerky remarks too. Like hell you are at lunch.

Sd auntie said...

Trust no one. Especially angry alpha females in the workplace ever!!!

SundaySilence89 said...

I've got 2....1. Lay down with dogs you get fleas and 2. Fuck'em if they can't take a joke

Never give your employer a reason to fire you.

marlo said...

don't chase success, do what you love and what you're good at, and success will come to you

marlo said...

& also when i was a young girl my great grand mother told me:
one day you will become a mother, and when you do, never listen to anybody, just always trust your own instinct when it comes to your children - she was spot on

Hot Cola said...

Heard it on the beach when I was 17 from some travellers.

MysticChic said...

Never ask how stupid someone can be - because one day, they'll take it as a challenge.
