My New Philosophy

[KynloStephen66515]

"Life has a way of finding you
but only if you are willing to stand tall and be found."
- Me (2013)

Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.

[Stoic Joker]

The only part of any plan that you can truly count on is that nothing will go according to plan ... Be flexible.

  Your going to have to explain the word "foma" to me.  I tried looking it up but couldn't find it in Websters dictionary... 

[Tinman57]

  If it isn't broke, don't try to fix it.
Me, somewhere around 1984

The only part of any plan that you can truly count on is that nothing will go according to plan ... Be flexible.

I've always preferred: Adapt or die.

"Harmless untruths, intended to comfort simple souls. " IE:   Beneficial lies.

Keeping in the Bokonian theme Stephen has introduced I'd add:

Know a granfalloon for a granfalloon when you find yourself in one. - me


"Never sign on to anyone's trip but your own." - Hagbard Celine

Me too ... But it tends to make clients uneasy when you say shit like that onsite.

Agree. In my neck of the woods it might even be considered "contributing to a 'hostile workplace'" and get you fired.

"This too shall pass."

...taking us all with it.

I always like this one:

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon

Seems often I "surf" life like surfing the web.  I start out with a specific destination or purpose.  When I find I can't go there or do that, I choose something from what's possible at the time.

  Oh, you mean "Little White Lies".

"This too shall pass."

  My mom's favorite quote!

How strange, I would have classed it as "incentive based employment".

From what I can gather.  Rather cautious about the description though seeing as I found it on Urban Dictionary lol

This would be a better starting point. See also. As it was meant to happen, I converted to Bokononism a while back.

(phew) had to read that twice... first time through my brain told me "Boskone-ism"... too much Lensman in my formative years maybe...

If at first you don't succeed, make sure you have somebody you can pin it on.
