Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 18 Jan 05 - 02:52 PM 1) Do what you love to do and the world will reward you. Just expect to have to do a helluva lot of it. 2) There is no musical instrument so primitive or inexpensive that you cannot make beautiful music on it, with the possible exception of a Washburn D-10 guitar. 3) Unless you plan on entering a genuine profession, it makes no difference what you get your university degree in. The primary function of a degree is to show potential employers that you are willing to do stupid shit just because you are told to. (Employers like that trait in people.) They are going to teach you what they want you to know anyway. 4) Always pack some warm clothes when you travel, even if it's the middle of summer. It's hard to find a jacket in Kokomo, Indiana when the temperature is at an all-time record low for mid-August. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: GUEST Date: 18 Jan 05 - 09:45 AM 1. Do it now. 2. Never flinch from communicating. 3. If there is a problem, something is unsaid. 4. Feeling critical is a sign of holding back from others. 5. Be true to your pledge. If you can't tell the truth, who will? 6. In a just cause hurting another may be required. If so, step up to it. 7. Don't waste time trying to understand the incomprehensible. Some things are just incomprehensible. 8. Keep your eye on the reason you are doing what you're doing. 9. If you are doubtful about the ethics of something, don't do it until it's sortedout. A |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Dewey Date: 18 Jan 05 - 01:39 AM Ask and it shall be given unto you Seek and ye shall find Knock and it shall be opened unto you For everyone that asketh recieveth And he that seeketh findeth And to him that knocketh It shall be open Basically this scripture says: when you can do nothing of your own accord, try applied faith. Call on a higher organizing power that yourself (i.e. God) someone who knows you have need of a thing beforeyou even ask. For he is the great architect of the universe. Consider the lillies of the field They do not toil, neither do they spin Yet you father (God) feeds them Are they not better the you? You have a mind, you have a soul, and you have a prupose in this great cosmos, God did not build a great stair case to heaven if there weren't a purpose to it all. Believe in yourself and listen to the impulsive thoughts of the almighty who is youtr intuition. We are NOT seperate from God, unfortunately we have grwon to believe that we are and as a reslut of thoughts and action are limited, Ask God (your source) for good things in faith that you will recieve them and be confident that you will have as you will. "According to your faith be it unto you!" "To him that hath, shall more be given, to him that hath not, even that which he has shall be taken away!" (remember this when you are working on a project or a goal, your state of mind will attract good things and retain your strength and faith) "If a man ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye being evil (imperfect) know how to give good things to your children, how much MORE will you heaven father (the creator of your mind and the universe) give unto him that asks." Dewey |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Peter T. Date: 07 Jan 05 - 05:02 PM Thanks to all -- a nice mix of sarcasm and true truths. a few more I have thought of to improve your life: (1) When in a restaurant which is playing terrible music (often two or three different sounds are on at the same time!) ask to have it turned down. You will be surprised at the many times no one on the staff has the slightest idea that the music is on, or that anyone is noticing. (2) always sit in an aisle seat in the movies, so you can move away from talkers. Don't forget to bring food or drink to the movies to save money! (3) If you are a reader, by one of those minilight flashlights. You will be surprised how many extra minutes you will get in a day in dark taxis, etc., to read. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: JennieG Date: 06 Jan 05 - 05:15 PM 1. Pat a cat every day. Several times a day in fact. Or several cats. Or all of the above. 2. Avoid very strong sunlight when wearing a sleeveless shirt. 3. Aloe Vera lotion is very soothing to sunburnt skin. 4. Sarcasm is wasted on small children, tell it like it is. 5. Just because you have children doesn't mean you will have grandchildren. 6. There are only 56 hours in a day, make the most of them. 7. Women don't usually have to make The Big Decision: to sit or to stand? (that's according to my husband) 8. When sitting at the computer, don't waste time. Drink coffee and eat chocolate as well. 9. Don't lose touch with old friends. 10. Your childhood was a long time ago. Get over it. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: darkriver Date: 05 Jan 05 - 08:23 PM Satchel Paige's Rules for Staying Young 1. Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood. 2. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. 3. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. 4. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society -- the social ramble ain't restful. 5. Avoid running at all times. 6. Don't look back -- something might be gaining on you. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: mg Date: 05 Jan 05 - 03:32 PM Take the vegetable drawers out of your refrigerator and don't use them. It just invites stuff to rot. Get Tupperware and put it there instead. Get a steam cleaner and avoid chemicals. Have lots of fresh air at work and at home. Keep emergency food and blankets and tools in your car. Go to lots of music camps. Read the National Enquirer. Short hair is not easier to take care of for women (at least some, at least me). Wipe off the edges of your soy sauce etc. bottles. Keep an ironing board up at all times. Don't fret about whether the toilet seat is up or down. Adopt children if you can or take in foster children. Check the oil in your car every now and then. Well, that is all for now. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: gnu Date: 04 Jan 05 - 05:43 AM bERT... POINT WELL TAKEN. i MYSELF....SHITE CAPS LOCK!!! I myself was married for thirteen years, five months, seventeen days and fourteen hours (I rounded off the hours). I understand the need to provide a clear, concise answer to any question posed by the better half... if only to give them another alternative to eliminate. I developed standard answers but didn't have your wisdom regarding clarity. The results proved your sage advice. By example, early in the marriage, when asked "What do you want for dinner?", my response was, "If you name it, I'll cook it and I'll do the dishes." Of course, after being accused of not liking her cooking, I had to change that to, "Whatever you want, I'm sure it will be delicious and I'll help you with the cooking and cleanup." Condescending. Then, "Whatever, I'm so easy to get along with, I'd eat shit on a stick if you cooked it." Lastly, "I'm going have a sandwich and enough beer to be able to ignore your constant whine. What are you having ?" That last one was clear and concise and now I have whatever I want for supper... and I do the dishes... sometimes I let them dry over night on the counter. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Bert Date: 04 Jan 05 - 04:15 AM Well gnu, that advice comes from many years of marriage. When asked "What do you want for dinner?", "Er I dunno" is not an acceptable answer. Say "Fish and Chips" or "Hamburger" or "Crawfish Gumbo" or even "Bouchees a la reine". Similar logic applies to ANY question that your dearly beloved asks. The slightest hint of indecision will land you in the doghouse - often without supper. The same thing applies if your boss or a subordinate at work asks a question. It is far better to be wrong occasionally than to appear indecisive. And don't forget, If THEY ask YOU, it's because THEY don't know anyway so they'll probably never even know if you are wrong. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: gnu Date: 03 Jan 05 - 03:51 PM Bert said : "5. A wrong answer is better than indecision. Always answer a question. Never say I don't know or I don't mind or I don't care." Now, I don't know about that. I've found that if you "don't know", the best answer is that you'll reserve decision and subsequent explanation upon further analysis and consideration, even though you are given to the work already laid down in your research to date, which, unfortunately, was somewhat rushed due to the unforeseen workload increase and accompanying lack of scheduled resources, the shortfall for which could not be accomodated in the time provided. Of course, if you've the gift of gab, wing it. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: CarolC Date: 03 Jan 05 - 12:58 PM You're never wrong, MMario. Thanks MBSLynne and Bill. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Bert Date: 03 Jan 05 - 12:58 PM 1. Never regret anything. 2. Keep a pet or two or more. 3. Drink beer. 4. If a decision is difficult to make it's because the options are close enough to each other that it doesn't matter. So toss a coin (just don't let anyone se you doing it) 5. A wrong answer is better than indecision. Always answer a question. Never say I don't know or I don't mind or I don't care. 6. Drop "er!" from your vocabulary. 7. This year find twenty words that you don't know how to spell, and learn them. 8. If you're going to eat saturated fat - make it Butter. 9. Always shop for the lowest prices and best deals, especially for gas. 10.Sing. |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: MMario Date: 03 Jan 05 - 12:46 PM When dealing with women - always remember possession of a "y" chromosome equates to "wrong" |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Metchosin Date: 03 Jan 05 - 12:42 PM Females, as you age, make frequent trips to the bathroom, never postpone and try to "hold it", you never know when you might suddenly laugh, sneeze or cough. For those gentleman who wear puffy or pleated front slacks, always be aware of where the zipper tab is, you can't pee straight through that little square hole. |

Success to me is achieving happiness...if you are happy then you don't need any further success. My only tip for success is: 1. Have as much fun as you can and be as happy as you can without hurting anyone else, and preferably making as many people as you can happy on the way! |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: freda underhill Date: 02 Jan 05 - 10:34 PM This is a useful tip fo foot success. so as not to totally "waste" time on Mudcat, try this double action pleasure technique: with the top half of your body, read Mudcat, laugh, type, think, relax, learn. while engaging in this experience, sink your feet into a bucket of warm water (as I am doing right now) with water - addition of your choice (I am using warm water, with tea tree oil and lavender oil in it). aaaahhhhhhhh i have some home made body lotion for my feet for later - cheap sobolene/Vit e cream from chemist, mixed with lavender oil... mmmmmmmm... freda |

Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Rapparee Date: 02 Jan 05 - 09:36 PM I was going to ask the same question, Bobert. What do you mean by "success"? Material wealth? Good health? Being able to triple tongue at G above the staff? Remembering where you last put your dentures? Realizing that this time the bullet didn't have your name on it? Winning the blue ribbon at the county fair for your pickled zucchini? And doesn't success vary with time? After all, there's the old saying "be nice to the people you meet on the way up, 'cause you'll meet them again on the way down". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: 10 Mudcat Advice for Success Tips!! From: Amos Date: 02 Jan 05 - 09:31 PM Maybe success is defined by the degree you have intended to make something occur and have made it occur. 1. Never forget the map. 2. Confront the territory, not the map. 3. Be willing to experience unmapped territory. 4. Offer to others only those experiences they are willing to experience. I have been ridiculously short on applying these sometimes. A |
