I don't know if this is the best advice I've ever received, but it's certainly the best I've received in my memory. I got it from a book. It was a story involving Professor Albert Einstein (perhaps you've heard of him) In the story, after he gave a talk he was approached by a journalist, and the journalist asked him to spell out the recipe for success. Einstein thought for a second and then said if success is equals A, then A= X + Y + Z. Einstein then elaborated. He said X is find something that you are good at and you enjoy doing. Y means work hard at it. Then, according to the story, Einstein went silent. So the journalist prompted him. 'What does Z stand for?' To which Einstein replied "Keep your mouth shut."

Apparently common sense is not so common. It takes a genius to figure it out. Since I read that, I've taken it to heart. And I gotta say it has improved my relationships. I get along better with my siblings, other relatives, my wife and kids. The only(?) time I open my mouth is when a decision is being made that impacts me. When my kids or my wife gives me grief about something I say to myself "I'm channeling Einstein" or "Serenity now (from Seinfeld)." I've discovered this keeps the little things little and more often than not they fizzle out.

How about the rest of you?

Don't trust anyone on Terb. This was told to me by more than a few SP's. And you know what they were absolutely right.

A coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies
but once. It is smarter to be the coward hiding behind
the bird-brained soldiers who died on the frontline.

You can make money in the stock market as a bull. You can make money in the stock market as a bear. But you can't make money in the stock market as a pig!

Never marry a woman with whom you're only having an affair.
